If you mean FileSaveDialog, I'd guess you have to use it separately for each file. In that case it would make sense to create a new window designed for saving multiple files at once.

On the other hand if you have prompted for the location, can't all the files be saved with predefined names (defined either by your program or the user)?

Forget about use for each file Separately. I think the user will cut my head if he attend to save pics of a class with more than 100 students.
I think having a multiple save window is more considerable.
The Other Problem is their names: because each pic must be saved with student no.

That's exactly what I meant, not very efficient to call the dialog 100 times. If you know the student numbers, for example from import phase or something like that, you could use that information. If you don't have it, try creating for example an editable ListView where you load the file names to be edited by the user.

If archiving to a single file is a feasible solution for you (= you don't need the separate files) then why not.
