What do you think?

It appears to be a widely used convention that if android apps use storage, they use a folder that can be identified with the app. For instance on my phone Aldiko uses eBooks, MAPS.ME uses MapsWithMe (it used to be called Maps with Me), Navigon uses Navigon, SoundRecorder uses SoundRecorder, etc.

So Diary uses Diary, so everyone knows what that folder is and won't delete it by mistake.

You are right but it doesn't mean users shouldn't at least have the choice to change it's location. Of course the default location should stay as it is but this idea came to me because I use syncthing to synchronize some of the directories on my device. Here's my setup:

I sync /sdcard/documents to ~/documents on my computer and I would have liked to sync /sdcard/diary to ~/documents on my computer but this configuration is referred to as 'nested sync pairs' on syncthing's documentation which is considered unrecommended and unsupported.

I could have avoid another sync pair if I could change the diary's directory location to /sdcard/documents/diary.

Ok, I have released a new version with the option to change the storage folder.
