FIle system: Specify a destination directory for the video

[keybounce]

Right now, youtube-dl will always save the video where I am at.

I'd like to be able to put a default download directory into my config (for example, /Volumes/Kleiman-Movies/Videos\ to\ Watch), and on the command line, specify something like "etho" -- which would result in a final directory of
/Volumes/Kleiman-Movies/Videos\ to\ Watch/etho/

Right now, you can create a configuration file with the contents

-o  "/Volumes/Kleiman-Movies/Videos to Watch/%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s"

and all downloads will go to that folder by default.

I think adding another option --subdirectory that maps to a template %(subdirectory)s would be possible.

I think more user-friendly behavior would be if the value of -o evaluates, pre-expansion, to an existing directory, use that directory but append the default template.
