Allow saving to custom sub folder and naming image

[MitchellQ]

Hi,

Thanks for the plugin , however it would be better if you were able to use it to create a folder in the directory that you save it into.

i.e. on my phone it saves directly to pictures and it would be good if it could either create or have a function to create a sub directory that it uses for saving i.e. pictures/MyApp

Also being able to name the saved image would be good,

It seems like a reasonable request, but we cannot commit to a date when this will be added. However, we will gladly accept any pull requests that tackle this issue.

@MitchellQ storing image/video in custom folder will be added in version 1.0.5

[simar7]

+1 would love to see this!

[ailic88]

Version 1.0.5 is released.
On Android:

By default image will be saved at "pictures" system folder,
and video at "movies" system folder.If user set folder name it will be
at root external storage.
On iOS:
By default image and video will be saved at photos.
If user set folder name it will be added as new album at photos.

Folder name is added as optional param, so your current code should compile and without any
issue.
Naming image/video file is something that we probably are not going to do, at least in some near future.

Hi @ailic88,

Thanks for this library.
Setting album name works correctly on iOS but on Android (Pixel3) it does not create an album and it still saves photos to the default pictures folder.
What do you mean by "root external storage" in your comment above?
The library version that I'm using is 2.0.1

Seems not working on gallery_saver: ^2.0.3 too.
Did you solved this?

[MitchellQ]

HI I have tried to implement this using both 1.0.5 and the latest version 2.0.3 and haven't been able to get this to work successfully

This is my method signature await GallerySaver.saveImage(_image.path, albumName: "My App");

I have tried it and the picture still saves to Pictures; I tried to manually create the sub directory to see if that was the problem but no luck, there doesn't seem to be any reason why it fails to do this. Can anyone help, @ailic88 ?

Hi @MitchellQ,
Do you have any alternative solution? your issue was opened almost 1.5 year ago.

[MitchellQ]

No @Hwan-seok sorry I haven't been working on solutions for this as this is for a project that has been completed.

The parameter albumName is not working yet in 2.1.0 version

Adding android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" in AndroidManifest solved issue for me
