hi, anyone know how to change the directory of the downloaded file from the scripts?
I want to save my file into shared folder.

Hi @beefstew151, you can use this 1-line inside TagUI workflow to change the location - #567 (comment)

maybe a good solution is have a helper function

download_folder('some directory') to set location
location = download_folder() to get the location

this way, users can also know what's the current download folder

which defaults to the workflow folder

helper function if want to enabled 20+ languages also need some effort to add, because will need to run Google engine to generate and then update the dictionaries. but it is less effort than normal TagUI steps.

i'll also review if it make sense to add this to replace current download step

Thanks @beefstew151, I'll also review if replacing the current download step is possible. For eg

download to c:\downloads

vs

download_folder('c:\\downloads')

But if it is a function it has additional benefit of returning current folder to download.

Above commit adds this. Users can download the latest copy of TagUI with this and unzip to overwrite existing installation (please drag the folders under tagui\src to overwrite your existing installation) - https://github.com/kelaberetiv/TagUI/archive/master.zip

In the next release, this will become part of the packaged zip files.

Windows

download to c:\temp

macOS/Linux

download to /tmp
