Remember Path for Downloads by Domain
-
Got used to this feature in Firefox: it remembers path for downloads, and for saving pages too, by their domain.
For example, you prefer to regularly save pictures from one picture site to first picture folder, from another picture site to second folder, and apps from software site to third folder, so you don't need to change folders manually every time. -
Or maybe make possible to add some kind of "rules" like in M$ Outlook
Like*.exefrom domain*.goole.com=>c:\xyz -
I would also like to see this the other way round:
Remember last upload location for each website

@rotfl It'd be very useful. Put domains/extensions and you are on.
Even most download managers lack this function (wondering why).
You are "forced" to use the categories/paths. But you can't match domain/extension. -
This request is very useful. It saves time and helps eliminate downloading to the wrong folder.
In Firefox, when I download from a particular domain the browser remembers the location where I saved the file the last time I downloaded something from this domain.
Currently, Vivaldi only remembers the last download location, regardless of which domain I was on at the time.
-
I can't imagine this would be difficult to implement. There are already site-specific preferences galore.
-
Seconding this feature request.
That's the one thing I miss the most from Firefox. -
Same for me, I'd love to see this feature implemented in Vivaldi. I came to appreciate this feature a lot in Firefox. It saves a lot of time as files from one domain usually end up at the same place.
-
@d_A_y_x Agreed. This is the one thing I miss from other browser, and is the biggest pain point for using Vivaldi.
So, when I need to download a lot of things from various sites I go back to my old browser because it remembers which folder each domain was last downloaded to, and saves a lot of time navigating all over the hard drive to save each item to its place in the file system.

@ROTFL This is really what I want to see.
If downloading a .jpg default directory will be %userprofile%\picturesThat would be so handy.
-
It's been multiple years since I switched to Vivaldi from Firefox. Still miss that feature greatly.
-
@Exodus00FF What you need is Support for MIME Types, which downloads files to different locations depending on the file type.
This request downloads files to different locations depending on the source domain.
-
I'd definitely like to see some functionality to save downloads to a different subfolder depending on filetype and/or url. There are some extensions that do this, but every single one I've tried have caused Vivaldi to hang for several minutes on startup for some reason.
-
I just switched from Firefox to Vivaldi, and this is the only thing I miss greatly so far.
For a browser with so many possibilities to customize everything, it is strange that this feature isn't implemented yet. I find requests for this going back 6 years.
Hope it is something the great Vivaldi team can put on their list and implement in the near future!

@mortencb Then upvote post #1

Yes please, I've just came up with the same idea. There is high chance that you download from a specific wesite will go into specific directory anyway, for example, some website about quake 1 has almost exclusively quake 1 custom maps, so files downloaded from there 100% will go only to my maps collection folder. Upvoted the first post.

Definately could use this - I like what several people have said about being able to create rules based on domain, and on file type - the question is if there's a way to handle both well together.

Every time I use Firefox I noticed this and going back to Vivaldi I miss it hard.
It's such a convenient and useful feature! -
This is actually the only feature a friend of mine is missing to use Vivaldi at all. He is still stuck with Firefox. Sad, but true for years.
Therefore, please upvote post #1
