- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14506929, 8 years agoLike most people I was looking for a replacement for Save File To since it stopped working for me even in the legacy version of FF. This is almost but not quite it. I have many deeply nested directories and need to be able to route images to them quickly. Manually typing out everything that needs to go into the context menus isn't feasible. I was hoping that there would be a dynamic drilldown from the context menu itself, which would only require the user to specify the root once, but it doesn't work like that. If you specify C:\images, that's all you get. It doesn't show more submenus under that unless you go to the settings and laboriously add them all.
Going as far as you can and shift-clicking for a dialog then using the "recent" directories works ok, but this extension would be a life-changer if it let you choose subdirectories more dynamically. - Rated 1 out of 5by Adam, 8 years agoVery poor explanation how to set up this addon. Unless you're programmer don't bother downloading it.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14264273, 8 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, 8 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by tombones, 8 years agoA huge relief to have a functional version of this essential feature in the new Firefox. The only piece missing from similar legacy extensions (unless I'm missing something) is the ability to nest a group of folders in a submenu. One of the main places I use to sort images has 20 subfolders, and listing all those on the main level of the menu would be impractical. Right now I'm just holding shift & opening the save dialog for that folder to choose the subfolder I want, but being able to nest the menu (assuming it's possible with webextensions) would help a lot. Adding some kind of character that could designate a specific folder as "always open the save dialog" (regardless of shiftkey) would be handy too. Thanks for developing this, keep up the great work!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14092724, 8 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, 8 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, 8 years agoNice Addon!
I want to use MIME Type on Dynamic Downloads matching.
if no extension, I can set it Automatically! - Rated 1 out of 5by alexbo, 9 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by thugcee, 9 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, 9 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 3 out of 5by alexg, 9 years agoneed a savelink extension functionality, since that one is dead (save url of the page as an .url file in a predefined directory with predefined filename pattern, with a single button click)
