Describe the bug
When removing the folder file types in XDM so that files are not sorted, the feature works as intended: Executables are not sorted, zips are not sorted, etc. They are all just put into the Downloads folder.

HOWEVER (This is the issue), after a restart, the settings are erased and thus (for this example) downloaded file types are then sorted in their own folders again.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to settings
  2. Click on the general settings tab
  3. Scroll down to the download categories section
  4. Remove all file type categories and uncheck the "Automatically select download folder based on file type"
  5. Click save
  6. Restart computer
  7. The settings that we're just set before are now gone, this is the bug.

Expected behavior
Settings save

please complete the following information:

  • OS: Windows 10
  • Browser: Brave
  • XDM addon Version: 3.5
  • XDM Version: 8.0.29 BETA

I am having the same issue, thanks for reporting.

Found a workaround
I deleted everything in the "download categories" section in the settings and added only one category and added a bunch of file types in that category. Now, even though the option to not download in categories keeps resetting, all types of files download under that one category I made. I set the download location to just the downloads folder and now everything is downloaded there and not in separate folders.
