by Firefox user 15989944, 4 years agoSo far so good. Just no option to choose a destination folder on save so they all go to a big God-forsaken Windows virtual folder where you have to retrieve them if you want to file them properly. Or am I missing something?

Thanks so much for that response! Open Save As to confirm file name solves it for me.
Would I be correct in guessing you struggled to decide whether to put that under Template or Destination? (Personally, Destination would have been the obvious place to look for a new user.) If I may say, I see no reason why you shouldn't put it in both places. I wish user interfaces did that so you're not running into dead ends so often.
Other than that, I love the way you've laid out the Options - as a simple list of expandable headings. Thank you! It's such an irritation to have each item separated by big breaks so you can't take it all in at a glance, even worse to have a new dialogue for each item like Windows has it so you're always going down rabbit holes into dead ends and back looking for what you need.

posted 4 years agoExtensions cannot save files outside the "Downloads" folder automatically. You can however save files in a sub-folder (see the option "file name > template" > help > third example). An alternative is to install "SingleFile companion" but it requires some technical knowledge, see https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile/tree/master/companion for more information.
Edit: Thank you for the feedback! I decided to include the folder name in the template because it can work with other destinations. I also try to do my best within the technical limitations imposed by the extension environment.

- Rated 2 out of 5by kazerniel, a month agoUnfortunately does not save working JavaScript for the site I've tried. (Removed the network block and some JS features worked, but not the most important ones.)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19251219, 3 months agoI was looking for a feature similar to Scrapbook, which was available in an earlier version of Firefox Add-on, and I am generally satisfied with SingleFile.
 However, there are some areas where it falls short on pages with images.
 Many pages display images in a reduced size, and when you click on them, they enlarge, but it is a bit disappointing that you cannot capture the enlarged image.
 In many cases, the enlarged images are displayed in a reduced size even if they are stored in a different directory within the same domain.
 If this issue were addressed, I would be very satisfied.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13944616, 3 months agoThis thing does what it says it does, and super well. I'm really, really happy with how well the extension manages to capture *exactly* what is on the page. It's pretty much perfect.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Roman Berezkin, 3 months agoI literally use it almost everyday. The most convenient tool in my life. Especially the "Save selection" one, which helps me to save insights from chatgpt and such stuff, which I can't "just screenshot". Love you and your work very much. Thank you!
