Check and fill as appropriate:

  • Support for a new media image format...
  • Support for identifying a new filesystem...
  • Support for extracting files from a new filesystem...
  • New command...
  • Improvement to output...
  • Other...

Detailed Description

Check if output folder exists and create it if it doesn't already.
As an example, currently when dumping an image to OutputFolder/Dump.aaruf where OutputFolder doesn't already exist, Aaru throws an error as it's unable to write OutputFolder/Dump.logsince folder does not already exist.

Context

It's important for me as I often forget to create the directory before attempting to dump with Aaru, which ends up not working due to folder not being created by application.

Known documentation
