Permanently saving a photo
Our app works pretty well to save pictures, but as soon as the app quits, all the photos are lost. We need to add a way to save the photos permanently. Our refactoring of the code allows us to work exclusively within PhotoStore now.
Before we write any code, we have to decide how we will store the photos permanently. There are many ways we could choose to save the photos, but one of the easiest ways is to save it to the filesystem, which is what we conceived in our conception phase.
