Feature description
Hi! I use Morphe Desktop as my primary tool to patch all my applications, and currently I have around 14 patched APKs.
One problem I've run into is managing the original APK files. Since they are typically stored in the Downloads folder along with many other files, it becomes difficult to keep track of them as the number of patched apps grows.
I would like to request an option that automatically moves (or copies) the original APK to a dedicated, safe directory the first time it is patched. This would keep original APKs organized and make them much easier to find later if they need to be repatched, restored, or compared.
I found issue #188, which addressed a similar idea, but it was closed as not planned with a suggestion of creating original_apks folder and store original apks manually .
However, I'd like to revisit the request because it becomes a real usability issue for users who patch many applications.
Possible implementation ideas:
Automatically move the original APK to a dedicated "Original APKs" folder.
Alternatively, provide a configurable directory where users can choose where original APKs are stored.
Motivation
For users who patch many applications, manually organizing original APKs is tedious and error-prone.
This feature would:
Keep original APKs organized instead of leaving them scattered in the Downloads folder.
Reduce the chance of accidentally deleting or losing original APKs.
Improve the overall user experience for people who regularly patch multiple applications.
Acknowledgements
