It would be nice if all the monitors were set to default download to a specified folder from the start.

If it is not set in the options, it should go to the current folder displayed in the main GUI display.

If it is set in the options, download to that folder instead.
Also a checkbox feature to create a sub-folder in the option-default folder to create a new folder with the search term.
D:\Grabber\Downloads
+Checkbox
D:\Grabber\Downloads\SearchTerm

Hello 👋

Just out of curiosity and to better understand the request, is there a specific reason you're saving your monitors in a different location from say your batch downloads? Wouldn't that mean you have the same stuff in multiple places?

Also a checkbox feature to create a sub-folder in the option-default folder to create a new folder with the search term.
D:\Grabber\Downloads
+Checkbox
D:\Grabber\Downloads\SearchTerm

You can use %search% (or %search_1%) for that, see Filename.

It's so I can view all the newest images easier. If I use * in the folder, it will show all images, but when there's 100,000 images, then it takes a very long time to load the image viewer I use. Pictureflect is the best image viewer I have found, but the initial load of a folder can be slow. So I just keep the downloads separate and move them every so often into another folder.

Despite using this for a while, the more intricate details of using this program escape me, and I'm not intuitive enough to figure them out.

But then is there a reason not to have this other "downloaded images" folder be the default for Grabber? Is it so that when browsing images one by one in Grabber, the save button at the bottom of the window would directly save them to the "viewed images" folder?

The filename thing, I thought it was just filenames and I was content with the default and just saving to my own specified folders. Having it add folders is a blessing I regret not knowing about. It changes everything... But maybe I need to do a little further reading first. My current saving schema is wacky.
