Save image by one click
-
Hi there,
in The Awesome Vivaldi I miss some quick solution for saving images. I do it a lot an I am already sick of browsing that R-click menus. What about dragging image from website directly to the downloads panel? It would be one-click-solution to save it hyper-quickly!
There is one addon in Chrome store wierdly-named — I'm a Gentleman. But what it does is a pure charm: When enabled, you can click on image & drag it just a little and it is automatically saved. Since I am a bit reluctant to deal with extensions for security reasons, I would massively appreciate if I could find such function in Vivaldi itself.
Just instead of R-click > browse menu > find the line > click > and confirm the dialog by enter, simply click & drag and forget.
Thanks!

Thank you @Pesala, I did!

A quick test shows we can just drag and drop an image to an explorer window:
For a test, open https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/tabs/guest-view/, scroll to the profiles image, drag it to an explorer window.
But I guess it depends on the way an image is embedded in a page, if this works. -
A little known feature in Chromium-based browsers is if the image is a link (to itself or maybe a larger copy) you can Alt+click the image to trigger a download.
Combined with the setting to save files without asking is basically what the OP is asking. Well, except of course it only works with linked images...
Try it for instance on this one:

Drag'n'drop to desktop (or any open folder in File explorer) works. But you need Vivaldi not maximized to be able to drop it.
Unfortunately it doesn't drops to file explorer taskbar icons.

Little improvement will be to edit the image context menu and put 'Save image' as first entry, to skip seeking for it.

Not really. You can Alt+Tab to the explorer window while still holding down the mouse button. You can also drag to the (already open) Explorer taskbar icon and it will show, allowing you to drop there.
If you want to drop to desktop press Win+D to minimize all open windows showing the desktop. Or (but this is a real PITA) drag the image to the tiny "show desktop" area on the taskbar right end.

@Pathduck Yes, you are right. Thanks for pointing out.
