Overview
This PR adds the ability for users to choose where to export their CSV files, addressing issue #[issue_number]. Previously, CSV exports were automatically saved to a fixed location (
Downloads/Deepr/). Users can now select any accessible storage location while the default behavior remains available for those who prefer it.Changes
User-Facing Changes
Added a new "Export to Custom Location" option in the Settings screen under CSV Management, alongside the existing "Export links" option:
Downloads/Deepr/folderThe file picker pre-fills with a timestamped filename (
deepr_export_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.csv) while allowing users to modify it as needed.Technical Implementation
