Summary
Updating: If you are updating (to 0.9.0.2) from a prior release, you probably have to restart the app twice (after installing Saving Launcher).
Context (Right-click) Menu Items Provided:
- Open Image… (before WebExtensions used to be after View Image): to open an image (having saved it in a customizable primary IA folder (this also works for images with an image map))
- Save Image (after Open Image... (since 0.2.9)): to save an image in a pre-determined folder without opening it (this also works for images with an image map)
- Open Image (using #TmpD/ia)… (after Save Image (since 0.7)): to open an image (having saved it in a customizable secondary folder (this also works for images with an image map))
- Windows 10, Windows 7 & Windows Vista (32-bit & 64-bit (OS & app)): Windows Photo Viewer
- Windows XP: Windows Picture & Fax Viewer
- Linux (32-bit & (since 0.8.3) 64-bit (OS & app)): eog (since 0.7; gThumb prior to 0.7)
A. Paths:
- Image-viewer to open images with
- Folders to download images to:
- primary
- secondary
- Whether to reflect secondary path on UI (since v0.7; default: yes)
#OS_PICused in default primary downloads folder,#TmpDused in secondary downloads folder,#ProgFused in viewer command for Windows 10+ can be replaced with a literal path of your choice (in which case don't include # sign in the path). If Saving Launcher doesn't recognize a variable, it falls back to looking up an environment variable corresponding to it.
User reviews
Good addon! How can I customize the external viewer path? Can you add hotkeys? And when i use Imagus, pictures are overlaps Image Assistant ui, can it be fixed?

Good addon, but please allow turning off the hover icon/menu feature. It is an extremely intrusive annoyance on many websites and superfluous given the existence of the context menu items.

While this works OK with the default settings, there's no way that I can seem to get it to (1) use XNVIEW to open my images or (2) to save files to my preferred (D:\Temp) directory. I've tried every combination of options that I can think of. Will happily upgrade to 5* if I can get it to do these.
