Makes no sense. If you have clicked on the "Save as" button, then the extracted characard is saved, that's it.
Here's how to use:
View attachment 4617357
1. scenextract starts with an empty screen. Click on the window to open file selector
2. in the file selector choose the game's "scene" folder (depends where you've installed the game)
3. pick a scene png from that directory
4. click on "Open"

The window will change, and it will list all the detected characards on the scene. In this case there's only one card, which lacks face image, so it's just pink because it's a female card.
5. click on the card you want to extract, the "save file as" modal pops up, and scenextract does you the favor to navigate to the proper directory (depending on the game and character's sex)
6. clicking on "Save" will now save the card next to the other cards, you'll be able to use it right away in the game.
EDIT: just for the records, this is how the GUI looks like when there are multiple characards and when the characards contain a face image:

For a more through guide:
I start CMD.EXE and I navigate to the scene directory:
Code:
Microsoft Windows 10.0.7601
C:\>cd \Ill\SamabakeScramble\UserData\craft\scene
C:\Ill\SamabakeScramble\UserData\craft\scene>
As you can see, the prompt on the left has changed. Now to be sure, let's list the contents of this directory!
Code:
C:\Ill\SamabakeScramble\UserData\craft\scene>dir

All right, we have a bunch of scene files and the scenextractcli tool here. Let's run it with one of the scene files and then list the directory again!

As you can see, a new file appeared, "SV_F_8CCE768C_001.png" ("SV" means it's a Summer Vacation card, "F" means female, a unique scene id, then "001" first characard of this scene).
Unlike the GUI tool which navigates you the game's chara directory, the CLI tool saves files into the
current working directory, so you'll have to copy the characard manually before you could use it in the game (in my case, the place would be the "C:\Ill\SamabakeScramble\UserData\chara\female" directory, depends on where you have installed the game).
