Using v0.1.1. While saving a web page, a GUID is appearing in the filename instead of the webpage title, as shown in the attached screenshot.

Chrome Version: 78.0.3904.97 (Official Build) (64-bit)

This is hard to reproduce one. It works fine on my end. I guess it is profile related.
If you close all instances of chrome and drop/rename your profile dir. It might help.
Note. Deleting profile will also delete your browser history, saved passwords, etc.
The profile location is displayed at the chrome://version page.

If you remove the plugin folder under chrome settings folder, and then the naming issue fixes

however, when you save as mht, it always saves under the default save folder instead the last saved folder, which is time consuming

is there any way you can add an option?

Not remembering last save location is in Chrome by design.
It is possible to work around this by using critical Chrome bug. It allows extension do write to any location. But I believe this bug should not be abused.

A reproducible scenario occurs as a collision/incompatibility when installed along with another extension.
For example, install "DownThemAll". The error (GUID instead of title) appears as long as that extension is active and resolves by inactivating it (by clicking the slider-like switch in the extensions manager page). You can cycle back and forth to test-retest.

Thanks for your work.
