[Feature Request] Specify a default share folder

Open Oprocon opened this issue 6 months ago • 2 comments

I realise that we can use Android's "Just once" vs "Always" approach to set the default share mechanism for exported files.

Would it be possible to set a default folder path within BinaryEye to always send exported files to?

For example, not just setting Dropbox as the default sharing app but to specify the folder "Dropbox/MyBarcodes/JuneStocktake"

Many thanks,

Matt

Unfortunately no, at least not with Android's share sheet. It can remember an app but it cannot be told put a file in an exact folder.

But it would be possible to add a Save feature using the Storage Access Framework. You'd have to pick a destination folder once and the app could save and re-use that. Will try.

That would be perfect for my purposes. Would Binary Eye require modding for that or is Storage Access Framework a separate module within Android that I could configure?

I'm not at all familiar with Android as a platform but I'll be able to work it out if no mod is needed to Binary Eye.

Many thanks again, Matt
