## Description

FAPD (Fast Alternative Picture Downloader) is a Chrome extension designed to streamline the process of downloading image files. It bypasses the traditional "Save as" dialog box, allowing users to save images directly to a pre-defined download folder set within the extension's settings. This makes downloading images faster and more efficient, especially when saving multiple files.

This add-on works exclusively with image files and will not appear for other media types, ensuring a focused and simple user experience. It's ideal for users who frequently download pictures and want to optimize their workflow without changing default browser behaviors.
