This code saves a discord image to the folder which it is in. I tried to set a destination for the save file, but I haven't found anything on the shutil website which sets the destination. I tried to put a destination in the shutil.copyfileobj brackets, but that didn't work. Also I an relatively new to coding.

This is the code:

import uuid
import requests
import shutil
from discord.ext import commands

class filesaver:

    @bot.command()
    async def save(ctx):
        try:
            url = ctx.message.attachments[0].url
        except IndexError:
            print("Error: No Attachments")
            await ctx.send("No Attachments detected!")
        
        else:
            if url[0:26] == "https://cdn.discordapp.com":
                r= requests.get(url, stream=True)
                imageName = str(uuid.uuid4())   '.jpg'
                with open(imageName, 'wb') as out_file:
                    print('saving image: '   imageName)
                    shutil.copyfileobj(r.raw, out_file)

        await ctx.send(f"text")

Your imageName doesn't contain a path, so it opens in whatever is your current working directory. That's a bit unpredictable. It's also easy to fix.

from pathlib import Path
imageName = str(Path.home() / Path(str(uuid.uuid4())   '.jpg'))

You can of course replace Path.home() with any destination path you'd prefer.
