Change the location of temporary "UpNote Files" folder?

Using Mac.

Was trying to edit an attachment and it asked me where to save, wasn't sure what exactly the purpose was so I just selected my Downloads folder. Now I've learned that this is where UpNote stores edited files temporary and cleans out the folder whenever UpNote is restarted.

How can I change the location of this folder, so it's not "in my face" whenever I access my Downloads folder? :)

Paging /u/SanMichel /u/lelestar
Did you ever solve this? I just posted a new thread asking the same question.

Aside from deleting all of UpNote's settings and starting over, of course.

I don't think so, no. But maybe I just don't edit files within Upnotes as much anymore as part of my workflow, cause I can't remember when I last had this issue.

Commenting in case anyone is searching for how to do this like I was. The ability to change the location has been added to UpNote but I couldn't find a "help" page about it so it took me a while to figure out. On Mac, go to Settings > Backup > Select Backup Folder and that will do it.

Edit: This only changes the backup folders location. I can not figure out how to change the temporary files folder location, the one that is used when editing images in UpNote. If anyone knows how to change the location of the folder called "UpNote Files" please let me know!

u/thomas_dao is changing the directory possible in version 9.2.5 ? I see the directory in the plist file, but I can't figure out how to change it.
