ylluminate (ID: 00000040843ef075) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/25/2022 This is a very much needed function for web browsers. I'd also like to see some separation of fields as the other review. Being able to define which fields would also be useful, eg, this output would be ideal: (`date +"%d-%m-%Y_%H.%M.%S"`) 25-03-2022_16.10.55

James Thegiant (ID: 000000f2a426b16d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/16/2021 Does as it says. Would have liked slightly more customizability (personally prefer "2021-12-15 - filename" to the "20211215filename" that is used, but hey, if I needed it that badly I should figure out coding it myself. The only reason this doesn't get 5 stars is that it seems to force the Save-As location to open in Downloads rather than the last-used location that Chrome can normally be set to do, which means I have to navigate back to my desired destination each download
