I keep seeing this sentiment from people who are supposedly savvy with computers. I never have to question where a file was saved to on Windows and I’m not sure why you guys do.
Same here, I’ve never had this problem, ever. I don’t even get how it’s possible to not know where your files are being saved if you are the least bit techsavvy.
In my experience it’s easiest to find things in Linux, next easiest in Windows, and on OSX, good luck with that.
One of the very very very few good features of macOS: cmd-click the title bar of a document window to pop up a window with the document location.
It does not work on Microsoft’s products on macOS though.
I’ve questioned it before when I just didn’t watch where it went, but it usually takes just a few seconds to figure it out most of the time.
Now Android on the other hand…
Here fucking here. I never don’t have a hard time figuring out where a saved file went on my phone. And every app seems to have it’s own idea of where the best place to put downloaded files should be.
Garden variety low effort meme. haha windows (or windass or windowns or whatever) bad so funiiii lolololololo etc - a few linuxmemes are basically… this.
Not sure what it does in programmer humor though - if you, as a programmer, find yourself in this situation… just git gud?
git: 'gud' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
- Me: Ctrl+S, please save this file
- Windows: Do you want to save it on SharepointOnedriveCloudthing?
- Me: Put it in the local Downloads folder FFS
- Windows: OMG it’s too hard!
LPT: get a debloater to remove One Drive and other MS bullshit.
LPT: Use Linux
How are the hackers supposed to find it if even you can’t? Exactly. Latest security at its finest
The Windows Scan app is particularly bad at this. When you scan a document, it saves the scan as a PNG in
Pictures\Scans. This is a sensible place to save scans by default, but it doesn’t tell you where. It just says it was saved. There’s a button to view it, but this just opens the scan in the Windows Photos app, which (at least, last I checked) doesn’t have an option to view the full path of the picture you’re viewing or open the folder it’s in!Pretty sure it saves it to “my documents”
That fucking no man’s land. Who actually stores shit there?
At least there’s Windows Search to bring your system to its knees by indexing everything constantly in the background, only to be both terribly slow and unable to find anything at all when you actually need it.
I depend on Voidtools’ Everything search, which actually finds stuff.
