illLogik (ID: 0000001cd8df7cee) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/03/2024 4/5 from me, due to some bugs such as all my settings randomly being lost and rules being reset to default rule-set, which has been very irritating to redo 40+ rules with complex RegEx patterns crafted by hand. Other than that, very useful and much needed functionality to the web browsing workflow! Chromium browsers, and Firefox need to implement this natively (optionally). This is the 3rd or 4th expression-based downloads-router extension for Chromium I have tried, and not only does this one work properly (most of the time) as opposed to the previous ones I tried, but this one is much more complete and useful overall. --- My Feature wishlist: Additional placeholder for file-extension Common/useful RegEx pattern template snippet library with click-to-insert capability (Cloud synced) RegEx pattern color coding to make patterns easier to read (check out regexr.com for example of what I mean) Dark-mode ChatGPT-based RegEx auto-craft Ability to set a rule that takes file size in to account Randomized string placeholders ------------ Graphical File Explorer (explorer.exe) file context-menu (right-click menu) symbolic link, junctions, etc utility: You can download a graphical Windows program rather than the command-line based mklink (which I will discuss further down) that make's creating these junctions/symbolic links/etc. as simple as right-clicking a source folder and then selecting a context menu item and then right-clicking and selecting the context menu item on the destination folder to create your junction. Now simply route your downloads to your linked folder in the Chrome/Edge. You may have to use Drop As > Hardline Clone instead of Drop As > Junction after selecting the source link directory. --- Link Shell Extension utility Download: To download the Link Shell Extension graphical link tool instead of using "mklink" via command-prompt, go here: https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html --- Link Shell Extension usage tutorial: Here is a more thorough guide on using the graphical tool with pictures and all for those who are confused on how to use this properly: https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226/complete-guide-to-symbolic-links-symlinks-on-windows-or-linux/ ----- You can use Command-Prompt (cmd) or PowerShell (pwsh | powershell) to accomplish the creation of these links from the Downloads folder to elsewhere using "mklink". Command-line help text of the MKLINK utility: MKLINK /D | /H | /J /D Creates a directory symbolic link. Default is a file symbolic link. /H Creates a hard link instead of a symbolic link. /J Creates a Directory Junction. Link Specifies the new symbolic link name. Target Specifies the path (relative or absolute) that the new link refers to. (Note: More information on mklink on Microsoft's site: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/mklink)

btmad01 batmad01 (ID: 000000351c59f6cd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/01/2022 not working - it works, with MIME names, it has to fellow the rules, and if u not sure the sort of files, just use its default PS *** is the file sorts. The download path has to be after the defualt download path. as C:\downloads\ , the relatively des path has to start from the of the for exsample, if u want torrents goes into C:\downloads\Torrents\ set the des path as Torrents/ u need to bulid and have the floder b4 u get it done.
