I hate the default behaviour so much. What's wrong with asking me where to save the file? I almost certainly have a place in mind where the file should go.
- m-p-3 7y agoI prefer to dump everything in the Downloads folder and move files if they're needed on a longer term.
- em-bee 7y agoa useful default would be to ask for the location the first time something is saved and then provide the option to not ask again but reuse that location.
- Zarel 7y agoI think it's easier to drag-and-drop from the Downloads folder to where I want to save it, than to dig through a Save dialog to find the folder I want to save something in. So it's less work whether or not you want to put your download somewhere long-term.
- mschuetz 7y agoThe download folder can still be the default, and all you'd have to do is to press "save" if you're okay with the default.
- rkagerer 7y agoIt's a shame they never made a Shift+Click type feature (or something like that) for downloads - like a modifier or menu option that forces the Save As dialog.
- sandov 7y agoI prefer it to get out of my way and just download the file. I'll have time to sort my directories later.
- paulddraper 7y agoHalf the time I actually just want to open the thing but don't give a damn where it goes. The other half the time I want it to go somewhere, but I'm not in love with using a GUI file explorer to get it there.
