Provide run / open / save / save as options when downloading files - Discussion
Hello everyone,
Thanks so much for all the feedback provided regarding Open/SaveAs. We are now introducing an option for users using Edge version 87.0.629.0 and above to choose, for each download, whether they want to Open, Save As, Save, or Cancel a download. To enable this option, navigate to edge://settings/downloads and enable, "Ask me what to do with each download." Once you download a file after enabling that setting, you will have the option to Open, Save As, Save, or Cancel it. If you choose to open it directly, it will be downloaded to a temporary folder.
Additionally, we have exposed an option to directly delete downloaded files from your computer, in the browser so that you can easily clean up after downloading your files without leaving the browser.
To learn more about these features, please check out our post.
WolfIcefangCool discovery. Maybe the chromium people didn't want to bother tracking a moved file so it could be opened from the browser, or maybe they don't care about leaving duplicate files littered around a PC. Either way, this should be changed to a move functionality like you said.
This could be an opportunity to add a checkbox-style select button for each download, so multiple downloads can be moved via drag-and-drop.
For me it's always the right direction
Above all to be able to "open" a file, attachment in an email, etc .... without having to save it on the PC
And if it would be possible to have a smaller download window (like Internet Explorer for example) with download information, file name, speed, remaining time, etc ....
It would allow to close Edge but still have this little download window in visual (in place of the current web page)
In fact, I find the IE system very successful 
But this browser has had several years of "development"
- I think it needs a big change in the browser and how it handles everything. right now when browser is closed, everything is closed with it too, even the feedback system.
I once requested before to put the feedback and problem recording system on a different process so that when the browser crashes or hangs, problem recording stays responsive to record what happened, but the developers said it's so hard to implement and they can't currently do that.It would just be necessary that the window "Feedback", "Download", etc ... be considered as an Edge window "apart" (as if a new Edge window was open) and there will be no problem
This is the case with IE, it should not be complicated to set up
- True, i hope they invest the time to do that, using Chromium should create more opportunities, not restrictions
