[Request] Switch "last used" download path dynamically between browser & extension

despecial opened this issue · 1 comments

First up: big thanks for your great work and extension. Use it daily and it's so handy. Appreciated a lot!

The "last used" menu item is super helpful and I would like to ask if it's possible to add an option, so that this menu item changes dynamically when a download via the native browser dialogue happened before.
Normally the last used item is one path set in the options (I love this function).

In the case that a document was saved via the native browser dialogue, and the option is set to active, the last menu item path switches to the location of that last downloaded file.

Hope its clear what I mean ;)

From me, another big thank you for your extension, and I second that feature request.
I came here to ask the same thing ;)

One note/addition: If it is not possible to access the last native browser dialogue location via an extension, you could initially also open an own "save as ..."-dialog if the "save on last location"-option is clicked while holding a key and safe this location until the key binding is used again (or the browser is restarted). This way, it stays within the extension, and you can also check if the selected path is valid/accessible (within default directory or symlink).
