Do not use 'evaluate but ignore', use 'Set Label.Text to', you will see where it's saved.
It's in ASD folder.

i have no idea how to start with this sir if the app will do that for me.. or do i need to this manually from file explorer? that's not ideal if i will let other ppl use the app sir.

i found out that 2 images are being saved sir, one with and without the timestamp. another issue is that it doesnt follow the camera orientation when being saved, it save as portrait. how to fix sir?
