Problem with how FeuerFuchs saves images

FeuerFuchs presently seems to work like this. You load a page displaying an image or images. You like one or more of them and you want to save them. Each time you tell FeuerFuchs to save an image, instead of copying that image from wherever it's stored in order to display it on your screen to the folder you want to save it to, FeuerFuchs re-downloads that image.

Can someone please tell me why FeuerFuchs is programmed to re-download images it's told to save instead of copying them from wherever they're stored in order to display it on the screen? It seems like that only serves to increase bandwidth usage.

I've got that and it's great for if I want to save all the images from one or more tabs. But it only saves images from entire tabs instead of one out of several images in a tab and the treeview navigation is slower than using the shortcuts I use to jump from one folder to the next.
