In fact if you set the Default media location in Settings to SD Card, the edited pictures will
be saved in external sd card, other wise they will be saved in the phone no matter you select Pictures or SD Card in the app.

Device Storage API in MDN explain 'picutures' as a storage area where pictures are stored and 'sdcard' as a storage area that give access to the device's SDCard.
But in my opinion in fact 'picutures' is a collection of pictures that exist in the phone or a external SD Card, and 'sdcard' refer to the default location either internal or external sd card. Am i right?

Hi Lingling, could you provide the link of the Storage API in the MDN page? I will find someone to review and check again

Hi Lingling -

In the API level, the "picture" means the default picture folder the FFOS will generate when it capture a phone and store it to the device, whether the picture is stored in SD card or internal storage(eMMC) is depends on the default storage setting.

I think this one should be a 3rd party vendor bug, ni Nicole here to help

@Xoriant - Can you please take a look at this bug and provide a comment?

There is an option in device's setting (Setting --> Media Storage --> Default media location) to select the default media location. 

If "Internal" is selected as the default media location, then 
navigator.getDeviceStorage(‘pictures’) --> returns the pictures from Internal SD Card. 
navigator.getDeviceStorage(‘sdcard’) --> returns all the data(including pictures) from Internal SD Card.

And if "SD Card" is selected as default media location, then
navigator.getDeviceStorage(‘pictures’) --> returns the pictures from External SD Card. 
navigator.getDeviceStorage(‘sdcard’) --> returns all the data(including pictures) that is present on External SD Card.

So, when we select any of these in the device setting, the app's internal settings don't have control over it.

It will save the edited image to the default media location selected in the device settings and not the app settings(output folder).

Thank you for the detailed information.

It would seem as though this is not actually a bug on Aviary's side, but rather a case of the device's settings overriding the app's preference. Therefore I am closing this bug.

@sync-1: Please note, that this issue can be corrected by going into the device settings and changing the default storage location (see comment 16).
