"Set default save folder" option #104

Description

@Phyzort

The Idea is to have a menu in settings to set a default save folder to not bother choosing it everytime via opening the in-app menu or going to the very folder.

The purpose
Say I'm using the app for saving screenshots and the only place I want to save them to is a dedicated screenshot folder on the drive. Right now to do that I would need to open the in-app menu and choose that folder eveytime, or, like I said, manually open the folder in explorer, because the only default folder is the desktop. To have an option to set a custom default destination folder would save a lot of time in such cases. Another usecase is more like mine wherein I want to have everything I paste-into-file in my downloads folder and that's it.

Specification and constraints
The feature would simply sit in settings as another checkbox option saying "Set a default save folder", after checking it a button to open the explorer would become active letting you choose the destination folder. Also the typical text-box near the button would suit to know what is the current default folder.
Basically an existing folder box in the main menu, just repurposed.
