Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. On the Import page, clicking "import options" shows the desired import path that can be changed by the user. Unfortunately any changes to this setting will not be used the next time you go to the Import page.

Describe the solution you'd like When focus of the text field is lost, it should save to the extension's storage so that the next time the Import page is opened, the updated folder path is used instead of the default /ipfs-companion-imports/%Y-%M-%D_%h%m%s/.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context A changed import path does not save to settings: 2021-09-25T03:41:32-04:00

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement an event listener for blur/focusout on the import path input field to save its value to the extension's storage (e.g., browser.storage.local), and load that value when the Import page initializes. Ensure the default fallback is used if no saved value exists.
