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.
I'm voting for Options 1 AND 2 (something like Option 4, but without 3).
I want to run files without saving them (I know, they have to be downloaded, but get deleted afterwards).
I want to save them in a folder I can choose individually for every download and to rename it the way I like.
I want to cancel a download before it starts (if I clicked the wrong link). So that makes buttons like:
RUN (without saving)
SAVE AS
CANCEL
Maybe there are a few users out there, that often use SAVE (with a given name and directly to the download folder). But if I choose to download something and store it for later usage, I want to choose name and location individually for every download by myself.
