by Firefox user 15989944, 5 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 5 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 5 out of 5by crankyfranky, 3 months agoAmazing. Exactly what is needed. Packed with features and customizable options. The output looks just like the original. It's opensource, private, does not collect any data. Great job developer. One issue I have is that it's downloading to '~/user/Downloads/' instead of the download path set in Firefox.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Blackbox, 3 months agoSuper useful for saving webpages, like application forms or temporary AI chats!
Tysm! - Rated 5 out of 5by Alphonse, 4 months agoA feature that used to be possible from the web-browser itself, but due to increased web complexity now requires an extension. In that regard, this extension works great, but of course not all interactive elements can be saved offline.
