No standard intent, then? Oh well. Now that I think about it, I've seen
file managers, gallery apps, share, and a few others all lumped together
quite a few times. I guess everyone is doing what you said. :-(

I suppose I could have a default directory, and ask the user if they want
to store photos to a group (e.g., when I go to a homebrew club meeting,
save it to /mnt/sdcard/UCPro/HBU/Christmas2012/...... (where /mnt/sdcard
is determined by File(Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory....),
not just assumed to be that exact path), and is checked to make sure it
exists, and so on.

Thanks,
