Where Does Chat Save Images/Attachments?

As the title asks.
I searched but the search here needs serious intervention.

Just so I can email a pic to myself as attachment, so I can use Tbird to dload it to Windows so I can email it to a friend. GEEZ!

Add to this please, how to know what folder I’m in.I found the pics but I have no idea what folder to get to in order to attach to a webmail - uggg webmail!

Are you talking about the Librem 5?

Yes. When setting the topic, I looked and software was the only one I could find and no sub but I had a feeling I would be asked by someone.

If the L5 takes a picture, it in to Pictures folder. It would make more sense to to have a Chatty folder in pictures. I looked around, which I’m still not good at, and, well, I couldn’t find it.

You’re questioning my Topic made me wonder; does Chatty work on the laptops too? If so, do the laptops have a different location to save images as well?

I see there is a May CrimsonOS report. Off to read that…

I think maybe some clarification is needed.

1_ Are you trying to save an image (or file) that you received in Chats, so that you can then attach it to an email?

2_ Are you referring to a photo that you made with the camera app, and that you want to attach to an email?

You can do this by creating a new folder, for example, inside the Pictures folder, or inside your home folder. Then when you save an image, put it there if you want.

That said, I’m not using the Librem 5 with a mobile telephone number, and haven’t set up MMS in Chats, so I have no idea if it’s easy to save a received image from that app. Normally, one would expect a long-press on the image would invoke a “Save as” menu option, but I don’t know if it works that way in Chats. Maybe someone else can chime in.

Once you do have the image saved somewhere, open up your email app, start a new email, and use the menu to attach the image for sending.

If you click on the image in Chats it will open in eog (Image Viewer), you can then click Save As in the Hamburger Menu
