Save Opened files in Temporary Folder
-
Quick update - this request has been added to the pipeline, which means we would like to implement it at some point. Once we start working on it, its status will change to "In progress".

Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for adding it to the pipeline. It seems like a trivial issue, but having the Downloads folder full of useless files is the main reason I uninstalled Firefox after they forced to "always download".
Microsoft Edge does not have this problem in all the operating systems, if pressing "open" it will save the file in temp. Tested in Windows, Linux, MacOS.
So, my default browser on PC is Edge, while on Android it's still Vivaldi

@Interiorce Amen to this.
I also stopped using FF for the same reason.
Personally I find this most annoying in calendar (.ics) files; when e.g. needing to add a TV-program to my calendar, there is absolutely no point storing the .ics to "Downlaods" or any place else.
In my case, I'm using Outlook. It just needs to open the calendar event and store it to calendar when saving the event in Outlook. In Vivaldi's folders there needs to be no sign of this .ics file ever even existing after this whatsoever. No there is a list of old .ics file in "Downlaods" weaiting me to delete them and which have absolutely no use.
BTW, where in the pipeline is this change? I did not find it? Or is already impelemented yet? I do not have the latest Vivaldi installed.

@1mechanic The Pipeline tag just means that it is something they plan to do, but nobody is working on it yet. When/if someone starts work on it, the tab will change to In Progress.

@1mechanic If you're asking about an ETA, there isn't one, not even for those issues that are in progress. It is the Vivaldi Team's policy not to publish any estimates of when a feature will be implemented, nor even when they will start work on it.
Since it could be years before we see this feature, look for workarounds or adapt your workflow to what is already possible.

Well, space on you PC?

It's great it was added to the pipeline. Looking forward to implementation.
If someone knows how to get the downloading to temporary folder using extensions/plugins/... before it's implemented in Vivaldi, I would be grateful -
Such a necessary function and still missing. An option to automatically clean up temp folder after the Vivaldi is closed is of course must.
