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!
Hey, some games don’t even bother with the documents folder! They just dump their saves right in your home folder!
