- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12382499, 7 years agoI've used this add-on before, given recommendations previously sometime during its early days and I'm back for the same reasons of use. This add-on does exactly everything I need it to do - and now that I look at all the new features - tons of stuff I won't need to utilize (that could be useful in the future however). I can't thank you enough for this add-on, it really is a GEM.
The workaround required to access directories outside of the downloads path isn't a problem and I can't criticize you for FF's shortcomings.
It's really a great feeling seeing how far this project have come, good-luck in the future, I will certainly keep using this a lot in my daily routine. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14264273, 7 years agoFor years I used 'Save file to' to sort my porn. I liked it because I could have my porn on a thumb drive and when it was removed the links disappeared removing all evidence of my porn collection.
Nowadays I have a more private setup and don't care so much about that but when Firefox upgraded and 'Save file to' stopped working I missed it. I tried this extension but it wouldn't save outside my Downloads directory. I looked into creating a replacement, but discovered why: The new security model doesn't allow saving outside Downloads directory. So I say whatever, I'll save all my porn into incoming folder and sort later. I still missed the uniqueify functionality though.
In the meantime I create a bunch of scripts to make sorting/tagging easier. https://pastebin.com/u/ukaran. Regret this functionality couldn't be somehow integrated into a save file to extension - maybe with p2p sharing to make a distributed imagefap.com...
Then I think - wait! I can put a symlink in my Downloads folder to my incoming folder and get back the uniqueify functionality.
When I come back here to re-download this extension I see that technique mentioned in the instructions.
Should have thought of it earlier..
Nice. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14193204, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14092724, 7 years agoSuch an amazing thing. The one thing that was keeping me from updating to the latest Firefox. I love it now.

- Rated 5 out of 5by tookie-lookie, 7 years agoBesides several minor issues, caused primarily by the FF architecture itself, this addon is just awesome. AWESOME.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13908745, 7 years agoNice Addon!
I want to use MIME Type on Dynamic Downloads matching.
if no extension, I can set it Automatically! - Rated 5 out of 5by thugcee, 7 years agoWorks like a harm, easy to use and efficient. It saves a LOT o my time. Thank you very much! There should be 6 stars for superhero add-ons and "Save In" deserves it.
- Rated 5 out of 5by waifu, 7 years agoIt is so UNFAIR that some people complains about symlink.
It is TOTALLY FireFox's fault for adding such restriction in WebExtension since 57. Please go give FireFox 1 star instead of the addon. FireFox just need to 'fix' it.
The restriction is really silly, if an extension can fudge a web page and lure you to download a virus, why not letting a legit extension to access file system for productivity!
That aside, I can't or don't know how to save link target of an image link instead of the image, is it not supported? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13679228, 7 years agoFinally an extension like this! Incredibly helpful to save pictures/files in different folder without having to spend the time to choose the folder or reorganize the download folder every time. Thank you!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13507585, 7 years agoAunque lleva un poco de tiempo entender la configuración, es flexible y poderoso, se puede hacer realmente cualquier cosa.
Excelente, muchas gracias por este importante complemento. - Rated 5 out of 5by VaPe, 7 years agoOn some sites, pictures have a link without an extension, for example:
http: //***.info/pics.php? q = up9% 2B77xAPRJrpRYH% 2F4% 2BC6vJ5CbLhqlstelNXijqA1J3OASEH6ivsjTiaA03I3RN1y6nEcC
They are saved as "pics.php"
How can I make them save with the "jpg" extension? - Rated 5 out of 5by AndrewFL, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by GoodCat, 7 years agoThis is good replacement for a non-working "Save Link/Image in Folder". Using symlinks is a very easy way to get around the "default directory" limitation
Although sometimes downloading failed. The reason is not clear, because after a while the same file (or image) in the same tab is downloaded properly. Upd: probably this happens only on Tumblr.
If you have a file with the same name in the folder, it is automatically renamed by adding (1). But I would like that in this case there was a "Save as..." window for renaming or canceling the download.
Also it would be nice to be able to give the names of the menu items are different from the folder paths.Developer response
posted 7 years agoIf you can provide details I can look into why it failed to download. Firefox is pretty strict as to what it considers valid filenames, and with the current downloads API I can't make Firefox prompt when there's a filename conflict. - Rated 5 out of 5by Kinnear, 7 years agoAny chance of supporting subfolders off the context menu?
eg, so rather than having a huge list of folders directly off the context menu, have each nested folder appear as a submenu off the previous?
eg,
images/vehicles/cars
images/vehicles/boats
images/animals/cats
images/animals/dogs
images/animals/flying
images/animals/flying/birds
images/animals/flying/bats
would result in a context menu with just "Images >" in it, expanding to the next level would show two more options, "Vehicles >" and "Animals >", and offer a "Save Here" option. Expanding Animals would offer "Dogs" "Cats" and "Flying >", etc. Basically, the functionality of the old "Save File To" addon? I'm not sure if 57+ even allows submenus within context menus? (Even if you had to set them up initially, unlike Save File To which auto-generates the context menus, it would be very helpful.)
I just think it would save a huge amount of screen real-estate, and be a lot more user-friendly for those of us who work with a lot of nested folders. :) But, addon works exactly as described, thanks!
Also, to "anonymous user 5f8d7a", the limitation to within downloads is part of the new framework for non-dialog automated saving. It's true of all addons. If you want to save outside your downloads folder, then it has to offer you a save dialog box each time, in which case you might as well just right-click, save.Developer response
posted 7 years agoNot in the near future, but it's definitely useful for people with lots of nested directories. I'll file an issue on the tracker. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13458891, 7 years agoperfect replacement for Save Image in Folder after every extension i used to rely on stopped working without substitution in FF57. except that I had to learn to make symlink, which took me 10-15min, it works exactly the same. thank you very much
