Screenshots

Additional context
Saving events and snapshots works in version 1.6.009. I noticed that when installing version 1.7.x that it doesn't ask for any permissions except for notifications

Because it doesn't work. Newer android versions require implementing scoped storage to access folders outside of the apps private directory. And that's significantly more complicated.
