1.1.0 (2021-01-06)

Improved error management.
The images are now saved in the same folder as the .blend file, in a newly created subfolder. If the blend file is not saved, it uses the directory set in preferences or the default temp directory, which might raise permission errors. This feature can be toggled via add-on preferences.
Improved the UI in preferences.
