Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When downloading on the apple version it downloads to the photos app. I want to be able to download to its own folder like other apps (so it can be accessed by the files app or iTunes)

Describe the solution you'd like A setting that lets you choose whether to save to files or to the photos app. If files then where (default location being the app's own folder or a custom directory)

Describe alternatives you've considered I made a shortcut script that when i close the app it asked me to select photos in my photos app to save to a folder and then delete the photos I've selected.

Additional context I've noticed that when I put a folder with the apps name, it automatically gives the folder the apps icon. I'm not sure if this is on Apple side or if this was an unfinished feature or feature that is no longer available. image image

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestion.

This feature is difficult to add, since not all iOS devices support access to the file system, and the app right now uses a plugin to simply add images to the gallery.

The app icon appearing on the folder is most probably just behaviour from the file browser automatically assigning matching apps. The app has no functionality to own folders on iOS.

The feature for selecting a download folder is available for android devices, so I will look into also supporting it on appropriate iOS devices.

Best regards.

I have done additional research and found out that iOS 11 and above supports browsing files, which means 99.1% of all iOS devices could use this feature.

Given this, I will look for an alternative way to save images based on a selected folder. Thank you for your proposal.
