Thank you very much for creating this tool. I once looked into into doing the same but lost interest. Really great to get some Egon Schiele in high resolution format!

One suggestion: Print out WHERE the image is saved after downloading, I had a hard time realising it's sitting in the root of my home folder...




In dezoomify-rs, the place where the file is saved is displayed when the file is downloaded.

In dezoomify, the application cannot know where you saved the picture, since the browser does not share the location of the download folder with webpages.


dezoomify-rs shows the following message (MacOS): "Saved the image to Kneeling Girl_ Resting on Both Elbows - Egon Schiele.jpg"

No folder/path visible here.


Oh yes, I see. The path is shown relative to the current working directory.


Perhaps it's relative to the application's current working directory?


Binary is in ~/Downloads/dezoomify-rs/, image was saved in ~/.


Unix programs start, not in the directory that their binaries are in, but rather in the directory that their parent processes are in. That could be the directory of the binary if the parent process did a chdir(2) there before spawning the child, but command-line shells never do that unless the user explicitly typed "cd".


It is relative to the current working directory, which is not necessarily the same as the directory the binary is in. We could display the full path, though. Interested in making a PR ?
