@RaulDP said in Temporary File Storage for Opened Files:

I would like to suggest an improvement for Vivaldi regarding file handling. Currently, when users choose to open a file instead of downloading it, the browser saves the file in the Downloads folder. This can lead to unnecessary storage usage and requires manual cleanup.

I propose that Vivaldi introduce an option to store these opened files in a temporary folder instead of the Downloads folder. This approach would:

Prevent clutter in the Downloads folder. Save storage space by automatically removing temporary files. Improve user experience by reducing the need for manual file management.

This feature would provide a more efficient way to handle temporary files and improve overall usability. I believe it would be a valuable addition to Vivaldi’s customization and user-focused approach.

Thank you for considering this suggestion!

You must be new, it has been suggested since 1.0 mutiple times 🙂

yayyyyyyy

firefox...

Hmm, https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253767848?sortBy=best says it's OS provided and fixed. i guess we can close this here.

@shifte Look great, i will try it

@DoctorG , I am surprised to discover today that the "simpler" URLs existed since years ago! I never heard about them, unfortunately. Are they talked about anywhere? Where they mentioned in any conversation or discussion, after their creation?

I just created a feature request about it (https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/96174/unique-download-urls-for-the-current-versions)... I hope my thread is not closed or hidden, since it mentions a few details that do not seem to exist yet, and I think they can be good. I will let their discussion happen there, anyway - I hope you or any other Vivaldi Team member do not mind.

@JamesMichaelElmore ok, as a workaround you can open the destination dir of the downloaded files by clicking the lens near them, and drag from there.
It's one step more, but just do it once and leave the file manager open in the download dir if you need to do often uploads.

@DoctorG said in Option to select binary or decimal units for file sizes:

@Levrini Hmm, i understand you want to measure the used disk space by MiB instead MB.
I respect this.

For me, in real life its makes no sense for mass storage to know the correct size, this 2 percent difference between 1000 and 1024 is less relevant for me.
The only part of world i liked know the correct size, is networking how many packets with how many Bytes the data stream will consume sending or receiving thru Internet. 😉

Fortunately we do not have anymore the old times of PDP/11 with magnetic tapes or µC with 64 KByte RAM or CP/M PCs or Apple ][ when i was a kid.

Well, it is 2% difference if we talk about 1000 and 1024, and I can get why on such small numbers it is acceptable. But my "Downloads" directory shows me rounded size as 9.4gb, while it is actually 9,412,422,017 bytes and it is 8.76gb.

@propiro Support for MIME Types would be great, then we could at least choose the destination based on file extensions.

I think your best workaround is to use the default location, then open the download folder from the Downloads dialog, to drag and drop the files to a specific location.

An Autohotkey script could be defined to open settings and click the checkbox:

Save Files to Default Location Without Asking

@iAN-CooG

I have already installed the Chrono Download Manager extension. But the Downloads panel is more accessible with a simple CTRL+J, and it is also more convenient to use.

@Raindrops1 said in Clear Missing Downloads:

Or did you want automatic deletion of the entry when the file is renamed or deleted outside Vivaldi?

So I understood. Removing only moved/deleted
