MicrosoftIntroducing the new downloads experience
The new Microsoft Edge recently turned one year old, over the last year we’ve heard your feedback about the downloads experience. While there’s a lot you liked, a common criticism was that it was oft...
Thank you, just tested it on version 90.0.816.0 and works fine,
Can you make it even better by applying these please?
- (this was requested by other people too) show open/save/save as by default, Don't hide any of them under a (...) button. there are plenty of space there to show those 3 buttons side by side. I use Save function 95% of the times, so i have to click on the (...) button every time, this can easily be prevented if you showed those 3 options by default. I'm not saying to replace "save as" with "save" because someone else might be using "save as" more often. but if you show all 3 options in there, everyone will be happy.
- when there are multiple downloads pending (e.g. 2>), then show extra options for "Save all", "Cancel all" and "Save all as".
these are important and will help the experience to become better.
Those open/save/save as could show only when hovering over it too.
- Yes, the 3 options just need to be displayed side by side, won't matter if visible at all times or visible on hover, both will work.
someone on the forum even made it with Photoshop, putting Open/Save/Save as next to each other, they fit perfectly.
