- Rated 5 out of 5by sivoris17, 3 days agoI had given up on a firefox bsky saver addon, but recent changes (bsky saving stuff default as .web files) made me want to look around again. I'm now ecstatic having stumbled on this!
Saving in jpg/mp4 again was a boon in itself but being able to change how it saves the file name feels huge and more importantly is all accurate! The old extension I was using got confused and would misname the file if it was a quote post or I was on the post individual url, but this provides the right names, urls, and timestamps no matter the .
However, there is one thing from the previous extension I used that I wish were here (or understood how to make it do). Automatically saving the file the folder with the corresponding username within the general bsky download folder. I hope that is doable in the future (if it isn't already).
If not, you've save me a lot of headache as is. But if so, you'll have made the best bsky media downloader out there. Thank you so much!Developer response
posted 3 days agoThank you for the feedback, this means a lot. Without going into too much detail, reliability is a priority for me and I specifically tested quote posts as they are tricky or even almost impossible to get right without workarounds.
As for the file path, on desktop devices you can include / in your file name to specify a folder in your download directory. For example, "bsky/%displayname%/%filename%" will save a file as bsky.app-3lxxo3i4qzs2c.mp4 in the Downloads/bsky/Bluesky folder.
Mobile devices sadly dont support this because of a limitation from the browser. - Rated 5 out of 5by Occasional Nerd, a month agoDoes exactly what it says it does, and does it well. Great that it saves the name of the original poster as well. Can't ask for more.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Durandana, 4 months agoYES! YES! YES! I often save pictures from artists that I follow on bsky and was really bothered by all of the default filenames being like "bafkreickki53fubfqd6rdvrf3zbgr6kpvob.jpg" which made me lose track of who drew what and in some cases left me unable to follow artists whose work I really enjoyed. All I wanted out of this extension was to include the user name into the saved file name, and it does exactly that!
Only way it could be better for me is if it let me pick the save location rather than defaulting to the downloads folder, but I can deal with that. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19538330, 5 months ago
