Description
maybe i'm blind or too stupid to find the option, but is there any way to change the default download location for files downloaded from the chat via dhe download button?
by default those files get downloaded to c:\users[username]\downloads.
the fact that i moved my downloads folder to a different location gets ignored.
it would be nice if i could set a custom download path so the files get downloaded directly into my veracrypt drive instead of the system default download location
