I think this is a bug, because without creating subdirectories this option is
useless.

The same can be said of other options, such as -od . I don't think this is a bug, it's more of a (mis)feature. Yes, I think it should create the dirs, but it can be fully worked around with some shell scripting.

Right, but with this argument you can drop the whole option and move the html with your shell script to the right place.

I'll put that into Build ... if it sees -D<path> it will ensure the path exists before calling the compiler.

This would be great.  As it stands now I have to do a "recursive copy, build tree but don't actually copy anything" before generating documentation remotely.

Only to clarify. The problem is not only the named path from -Dd<path>, the bug report should show, dmd is not generating the directory tree beneath that path, representing all packages.

While you're at it, you might as well do the same for the other options too, like -od, right ? ;)
