[question] where to find cached images ?

[bardiarastin]

when we open an image next time that we launch telegram it does not download it again . so the images are stored in a directory . where is that directory ? (saving images one by one takes too much time)
Version of Telegram Desktop:
latest
os : debian

[MasterGroosha]

They're stored in unreadable form

[bardiarastin]

but in android devices they are stored in telegram/images . is it not better for desktop version to be the same ?

I believe they're encrypted for security. Don't quote me on that, though.

[bardiarastin]

at least there should be a save button for more quickly saving .

For the time being, if you happen to know Lua, you could use that to download recent images: https://github.com/vysheng/tg/blob/master/README-LUA It'd have to load the history from the servers, though, which takes time. If you go that route, I recommend rate limiting it on your end so you don't risk hard rate limiting by the servers.
