#1076 Storage Access Framework
Not really a bug, but a lack of safe guards that cost me a whole day of work. I made a mistake and turned Storage Access Framework on. This calls up a list of potential storage locations. If you click undo, then SAF turns off. But if you close the app and restart, SAF remains on with no place to store your photos. All day long I was taking shots and they were not being stored. There's no warning. I just learned that the only way to tell is that you will not see any size listed for storage and you won't see a thumbnail of the image in the gallery. It would be much better if you are given a clear warning of if SAF defaults to off when you start the app and there's no storage attached.

Sorry to hear that - in theory an error message "toast" should be displayed when failing to save photos or videos, and I tested this showed for me, so maybe there is some device specific issue. But yes separate to that, it is an issue that quitting during the SAF dialog leaves it on with an invalid save location, so I'll look at fixing that.
Fixed for the next version - force quitting whilst the SAF dialog is open will mean SAF is turned back off.
