Provide run / open / save / save as options when downloading files

  Hi Kiven, this already exists in the latest builds of Microsoft Edge. You can open up edge://settings/downloads, and turn on Ask where to save each file before downloading.
  
  Thanks - Elliot

    I know that, it's just like the "save as" option.
    Here need to add the "Run/Open" option.
    And we should have a chance to choose one of the options before downloading.

  Please! That's one if the biggest things that I hate about Chrome. Some of us like to organize our downloads when we download them as opposed to a separate step afterward.

  By you, possibly; by me definitely not. Things like e-books, films, music which I want to download to particular places in my filing system as I will want to read, watch, listen to them more than once, make up a lot more than 1% of mine. Then there's documents like insurance documents, 3D CGI assets, research material I want to file and keep, software installer and updater files I always want to save in case of a need to re-install, re-update ... actually I always want to 'save as' apart from a few text files or pdfs which I just want to 'open'. I absolutely never just 'run'; I always 'save as', then run the downloaded and filed copy.
  
  People are different, have different needs and preferences. Don't presume to speak for anyone but yourself.

    On the same count I would like a way to permanently dismiss the open file/show all bar that appears at the bottom of the screen after saving. For example: I routinely save family pictures from FB to my pictures/family album for safekeeping. I never wanna open them right away after saving though and have to dismiss the thing after each save.
