Here:

https://ionicframework.com/docs/vue/your-first-app/3-saving-photos

It says:

Each time a new photo is taken, it’s now automatically saved to the filesystem.

Where? Testing on Windows 10 and I do not see it.

Debugging shows this:

But no trace of a file anywhere.

I assumed the initial app is a PWA using the camera on the laptop and later is configured for a mobile device.

Confused 😕

Ha! I wondered about that too, but the photo is only stored as a base64 encoded string in the browsers local storage, NOT a file on the filesystem.

Yeah, Capacitor Filesystem plugin, when running on web, it stores the files in IndexedDB as most browsers don't have access to the real Filesystem of the computer.
