A setting to change the default chapter download location. (Or change it at all really). Without rooting the device, accessing the downloaded chapters with another app is awkward. What I do now is copy the chapters out with 'cx file explorer.' Which works but is far less convenient than using one of the shared folders that all/most apps can access. I actually do this so I can have it read by @voice.

It can also potentially be used to allow for allocating SD space instead of internal space.

Depending on specifics I think it would either go in the download option category or perhaps the advanced options if it gets messy. Only reason I can think of is that the file/folder naming scheme is currently not friendly. i.e. everything is just a bunch of numbers. Not a problem for me but either way.

Let me know if I need to change something. This was supposed to be a feature request.

This was an intention originally, but Shosetsu knows it has downloaded something by a database field, I would have to create a download checker worker to update said field. Which is too much work currently, as I am trying to get version 2 out.
