Announcing the Open/Save as/Save and Delete prompts for downloads!
There is absolutely an extra click after this change.
Before: Click link > Change folder if needed > Save
Now: Click link > Click Save As > Change folder if needed > Save
Additionally that extra click happens at the bottom of the screen (whereas the file browse dialog appears in the middle of the screen), so that extra click is probably far from where your mouse cursor was.
As well as also wanting to have the option of the previous behaviour, the other thing I'd need before considering Edge a usable browser for me WRT Downloading is some additional information on the download on the shelf while the download is happening. Specifically I need it to show the download speed alongside the 'x of y' progress. Especially on a big download, seeing the download speed has slowed or gone to zero is often the quickest way to see something has gone wrong with the download.
I think taht is already tehre- Yes, I would love to have that as well, it shows in the downlaods page but not that menu, I will upvote this
- Until we have an ideas section to upvote things, we need to just submit feedbacks individually
- That's a great idea, David.
Perhaps there could be a tool-tip type mouseover window that appears displaying something like:
- Progress (graphical, percent, time elapsed / remaining and bytes downloaded)
- Download speed
- Total file size to be downloaded, if reported by the server
- Source URL (since sometimes due to redirects the downloaded file receives a different filename than was in the URL) and/or MIME type
