+## Fix: `save*` methods now always save files regardless of `alwaysSaveActualImage` setting
+
+Previously, when `alwaysSaveActualImage: false` was set in the configuration, `save*` methods (`saveScreen`, `saveElement`, `saveFullPageScreen`, `saveAppScreen`, `saveAppElement`) were not saving files to disk, causing test failures.
+
+The `alwaysSaveActualImage` option is intended to control whether actual images are saved during `check*` methods (comparison operations), not `save*` methods. Since `save*` methods are explicitly designed to save screenshots, they should always save files regardless of this setting.
+
+This fix ensures:
+- `save*` methods always save files to disk, even when `alwaysSaveActualImage: false` is set
+- `alwaysSaveActualImage: false` continues to work correctly for `check*` methods (as intended for issue #1115)
+- The behavior is now consistent: `save*` = always save, `check*` = respect `alwaysSaveActualImage` setting
