Save In… Extension

Adds a context menu to save media {image, video, audio, link, selection, page} in user-defined folders or directories relative to the default download location.

Save into dynamically named directories.

Flexible rules-based download renaming and routing.

Option to save as shortcuts {.url, .desktop, .html redirect}.

The WebExtension API only allows saving into directories relative to the default download directory. Symlinks can be used to get around this limitation:

Windows: mklink /D C:\\path\\to\\symlink D:\\path\\to\\actual
macOS/Unix: ln -s /path/to/actual /path/to/symlink

Make sure the actual directories exist, or downloads will silently fail.

permission is used to get around CORS on HTTP HEAD requests (to check for Content-Disposition headers)
tabs permission is used to get the active page's title.

Configure before use.

Turk (ID: 000000b40cfe4fb4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/02/2020 Great tool - would benefit from idiot friendly "save in" folder UI - i hate (atttempting) to write scripts - it's always a keep guessing until it works, sort of. Tbh I'd rather stare at a wall for an hour than learn how to script, i'm not getting paid for it, I dont enjoy it and quite frankly that's why UI's were invented. In fact, 4 stars instead of 5 :) 5 when I click tick boxes /"add folder" to save to. Until then i'll stick with dumping copied text to an rtf as the main use for this POTETNTIALLY awesome extension ;) joke aside, thanks for this tool, it's 99% what i've been after. psst UI. ps seems to have stopped working in Chedot browser so gone back to Vivaldi for the time being.
