- Rated 3 out of 5by zakgj, 7 years agoFor saving out of the default (on Windows) you can use application called "Link Shell Extension" a graphical mklink install then on the target directory right click & chose "pick link source" then right click on default directory & chose "Drop As.." & chose symbolic link or Junction then you will have the target directory in the default directory & the directory name to "Save in" setting.

You need Administrator right - Rated 2 out of 5by mrbunnylamakins, 7 years agoI sat here for over 6 hours trying to get the code you provided to work. Unless you show Screen Capture of how to use Download folder to mklink /j to another drive folder and a actual working code that does not give red errors like "mklink /D C:\path\to\symlink D:\path\to\actual" I know mklink /j \default_download_dir is right, because C:\Downloads does not work. Plus Everything on internet says you have to do this Admin Command Prompt. Which I got to work. Question remains since you do not show or produce no REAL example of how to display such in on SaveIn Menu . Sure I can Create many new folders in Download folder but What I save I do not want in the download folder. I am not one who needs to Save things to Newly Created folders. I can understand adding Existing folders to SaveIn.
C:\Downloads > D:\ Picture Folder
"A symlink is needed to save outside the default download directory" ....
(mklink /j \default_download_dir D:\Picture_Temp\New_Sort_Temp ) ERROR.
(mklink /j \default_download_dir \Picture_Temp\New_Sort_Temp ) ERROR.

Example:
mklink /D "C:\Users\\Appdata\Local\Plex Media Server" "G:\Plex Media Server"
" Quotes" and : Red Error - 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 1 out of 5by Grny, 7 years agoNot user friendly, make the user do all the leg work. This is not very clear on how to setup and when there are other competing add-ons that do the same but much easier its hard to justify jumping through the hoops. (ok FF just broke all the add-ons so I'm probably not using this shit anymore, but my opinion still stands)
- 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 1 out of 5by WRCS-UK, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13561640, 7 years agoI would give this five stars if AVAST would stop reporting it as and UNTRUSTWORTHY add-on and asking me if I would like to remove it!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Bond - Not James!, 7 years agoGreat Add-On !
To "anonymous user 5f8d7a": I found a workaround to this rule by modifying the browser's default download folder in >Preferences to an upper level of folder (Home in my case since I am using Linux). Hope it help. - Rated 5 out of 5by AndrewFL, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by jnewman, 7 years agoExcellent add-on. It would be still more useful if one could save pages to .url shortcuts in the default directory (without all the nested subdirectories). That is, "save pages shortcuts" in the same exact way as "save links shortcuts". Also, it would great if there were toolbar button for saving page shortcuts.

posted 7 years agoThe nested subdirectories issue was a bug and should have been fixed. Thanks for using the addon! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13525635, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Oren Kreps, 7 years agoWith symlinks, this extension works well for my needs. One function I would add if possible is to open a dialog if the file being saved has a duplicate name in the directory instead of automatically renaming it.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12086402, 7 years agoI have a lot of links like "download.php&id=1234". This extension saves all those links as file with "download.php" name. While FF itself honors Content-Disposition response header (filename parameter).
Developer response
posted 7 years agoThe addon is already checking for Content-Disposition, but not much can be done if the HEAD request for Content-Disposition fails. Actually hooking into Firefox's download filename has to wait until Firefox implements Chrome's onDeterminingFilename API.
Rewriting the filename might work as a stopgap. - Rated 4 out of 5by sudowtf, 7 years agoplease add save this website as a link. (Any OS) (Need replacement for SaveLink 4.0.1 by prudnik)

- 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
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13455044, 7 years agoStrange restriction on the path only to the download directory makes the plugin completely useless.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Grinch, 7 years agoGood replacement for Context Menu Image saver. Would it be possible to add an option so that if the filename already exists that it would show a quick pop-up that gives you the option to Overwrite or Rename the file instead of automatically renaming it. I've got the show save as dialog pop-up turned on now, but would rather just a quick Overwrite or Rename option instead.
Thanks......Developer response
posted 7 years agoThe API to prompt is not implemented in Firefox yet. I'm looking to add it as an option once it is. - Rated 4 out of 5by SkyCharger, 7 years agonice, but I'd like the option to access sub-directories via the context menu. (having to make a separate entry for each sub-directory can easily make for a cluttered mess)
- Rated 5 out of 5by HideD, 7 years agoI'm trying to find alternative addons of "Save in images in Folder."
It is very helpful, and provides all the core functions I need.
