You're not supposed to double-click it. [1]

Yes they do. It's on the second paragraph.
Here's a guide:
- Find where the Python file is located
- Open your command prompt by following this 90-second video
- Type
python inb4404.py [LINK HERE] - Replace [LINK HERE] with the link to your thread
- Hit ENTER
I'm running this script right now. I don't get it. Why does it save images to two folders? There's a "new" folder and a "downloads" folder. What I mean is, whats the purpose of doing this?
See:

I still think this is an expensive solution, storagewise. Personally, I would change this behavior since I don't see the purpose of doing it.

It absolutely is. When I first started writing this script for my own, I wanted it to behave exactly like this. Then quite a few people started using it as well and nobody ever complained. So I assume that many people actually like this behaviour.
I'm not really happy with this solution for a script that is used by several people, but whenever I think about a better solution, I don't find one that I'm completely satisfied either. So if you have any real suggestions then state them.
