by scottobob, 5 years agoIf the page being annotated is already a local file, then SingleFile should save back to that file instead of making a new file in the Downloads folder.
This would be useful when re-annotating a file you've already saved.
Edit 1: There is an option "File name > filename conflict resolution" but this provides no way to save to the original file except by renavigating the whole path to the original html source file, and re-specifying the filename.
What I'm asking for is that SingleFile literally saves back to the original source html file (possibly with an overwrite warning for safety, although I would be happier without that).
Edit 2: disabling the option "File name > open the "Save as" dialog to confirm the file name" doesn't affect this problem; the file is still written to the Downloads directory instead of its original location.

Developer response
posted 5 years agoThere is an option for that, see "File name > filename conflict resolution".
Edit 1: I think it's possible by also disabling the option "File name > open the "Save as" dialog to confirm the file name" (this is the default state)
Edit 2: It's technically impossible for an extension to save the file in another folder than the "Downloads" folder or its subfolders.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17810758, 2 months agoAbsolument indispensable pour sauvegarder une page facilement. Le menu des préférences mériterait un peu plus de clarté.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Axolotl, 2 months agoAbsolute godsend in most manners the 'save selection' option is exactly what I need. However I'm running into issues with saving show/hide buttons and content it interacts with in forum pages (I can provide a link to an exact page it occurs if needed).
Broken displays be one thing but the page saver won't ever complete if these are present. A fix for this would be greatly appreciated and it would meet and exceed all my needs after. - Rated 5 out of 5by José Ángel, 2 months ago
