Change download location of images
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Currently the app seems to be storing the images in it's data folder found inside the Android folder. This doesn't seem to be a nice choice for the following reasons.

  • A user who downloads an image would probably want to use it in some way. The current implementation doesn't allow a general user to identify the image location.
  • Further the images don't turn up in the Gallery app a user uses. This results in inability of users who do not use a file manager to access/share the picture (even if they know the location of the image).

A possible alternative would be to store the image in the "Downloads" folder of the device.
