About this extension

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))

Supported Operating Systems & Default Image Viewers:

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)

Configuration (Optional Customization (since 0.3.1-gecko37 release)):

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)

B. Variables (Directory Service definitions (reflecting changes made in v0.7)):

#OS_PIC used in default primary downloads folder, #TmpD used in secondary downloads folder, #ProgF used 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.

Supported Locales:

crh - Qırımtatarca (Kırım Tatarca)
en - English
fr - Français
it - Italiano
tr - Türkçe
tt - İdíl-Ural Tatarça

P.S.
All other OSs (in particular, Mac, and Solaris): not officially supported as of now due to lack of time, etc. to provide native component builds for them.

Release notes for 0.9.0.2

* Re-implementation using standard WebExtensions (API) (and Native Messaging (since 57.0 release Firefox only allows interacting with the file system via Native Messaging)).
- Saving Launcher app can be installed (or uninstalled) for current user account or system-wide.
- Saving Launcher supports customizable logging (levels); for system-wide installations logs are written into temporary directory (special care has been taken to avoid path clashes on Linux). The app backs up the previous log file, & starts a new one on start-up (keeping 2 log files around on a rolling basis).
- New feature: notifications of errors on native side.
- IA tries to re-start & reconnect to native app (if such an exceptional situation occurs).
* New feature: custom Configuration UI.
* New feature: hover-icon-menu UI (context menu also included (but due to limitations of WebExtensions API on Firefox at the time of this release it's only available for img tags)).
* Support for protocol-independent URLs.
* Now detecting Windows 10+ using Windows API rather than NSPR, which apparently hasn't been updated for recent changes made by Microsoft.
* New extension icon (a variant of which is also used on hover-icon-menu UI).
