Bug Description

I can't select the download location for this app. On the BQ phone you only have about 4GB of space for files. If you use the app to download a file, say 2GB, you are unable to access the download location and so cannot move it. The only option is to open it and let it copy to the relevant folder e.g. Videos except that 2GB + 2GB = 4GB and so no space. I cannot open or copy the file to the SD card or to another device, therefore my only option is to delete the file.

There should be an option to select the file download location, or failing that, select the location with the largest amount of free space.

Hi Pablo,
DowNow is a confined application and therefore it can only write to a specific folder in the filesystem.
All files downloaded by DowNow can be found in ~/.local/share/com.nogzatalz.downow/download.
You can open the file manager and move the files manually from DowNow's folder to wherever you like.
I realize this isn't optimal. I'll look into ways to fix this.

Thanks, it is pretty easy to move once you know where the location is so its not that much of a problem. Great app by the way, works brilliantly and really handy.
