Add ability to save screenshot

Open JohnVeness opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

I understand the workflow of just using Share, but sometimes you just want to save a screenshot. E.g. if you want to later upload it to a web-based forum that you cannot "share" to.

Please can you add a save feature, either as a separate button next to share, or within the Share list I suppose, although I would prefer a separate button.

Many thanks for creating this app.

Yeah I totally see the need for this. In this reply, I explain why its currently not included.

Hi and thanks for the app, from me too. It's very handy, really.

While I totally understand your goal is to keep the UI very clean, I am pretty sure the whole world would appreciate an automatic save feature with its config put away from main screen onto Settings screen and having a couple options (toggle the automatic save feature on and off (default), specify path where to save... just simple pleasures).

Sure thing! Unfortunately I don't have too much time for working on the app right now...

So I guess you have to wait quite a bit.... I am happy to accept PRs though :P

As a work around, you can try to share the screenshot to Photo+Save app, which save an image directly into specific folder.

Thank you for the input. What I've been doing currently is share screenshots to the cloud (e.g. with NextCloud app) or to Telegram, which both are other ways to save.

And I saw another way to save, that is X-plore, which provides “Copy to” option in the share menu and let you choose the folder.
