Why would the developer be smart enough to tamper with the settings item inside the download setting
Thanks for submitting feedback, we appreciate the care you took to describe your problem. From what I can understand, it appears that you are finding the recent change to support "Open" functionality in downloads to be inefficient.
In particular, what I am hearing is that you prefer that once you click a donwload link, it asks you where you want to save the file immediately (without having to click "Save as", which requires you to perform one extra click).
The feature team is keeping track of feedback of this type. We made the change because we received overwhelming feedback from people who want the previous "Open/SaveAs" functionality in legacy Edge back yet we didn't want to overcomplicate the settings associated with Downloads, which may confuse users.
What I mean is that when I download a large number of images from the web for a short period of time, I need to assign them to different folders depending on the content of the image while downloading.
But the latest version has the feature "Always ask me if I want to save the file or open it without saving". It focuses on what to do with the file, not on where to save it.
If I enable this option, the browser will save all the files downloaded in this process to the same location compared to older browsers. The end result is that I have to spend more time moving the files to the appropriate folder after downloading hundreds of images.
If I disable this option, the browser will save any files to the download folder, which makes it even more confusing.
This has nothing to do with the browser's "Save As" option, I use a browser plugin to assist in downloading files (the plugin renames the image file name to a new name that contains the image ID, title, author, etc.). The plugin uses an automatic download, and a recent browser update broke the whole work cycle (fetch image → rename and package file → save to a different library).
So, I installed Google Chrome.
It's annoying when basic services go wrong.
Original Post：
我的意思是：当我从网络上短时间下载大量图片的时候，我需要在下载的同时根据图片内容的不同分配到不同的文件夹之中。
但是最新一版的功能是“始终询问我是要保存文件还是打开它而不保存”。它侧重于文件的处理方式，而不是保存位置。
如果我开启了这个选项，相较于旧版本浏览器，浏览器会把在本次进程内下载到的文件全部保存到同一个位置。最终的结果就是，我在下载了数百张图片之后还得花更多的时间把文件移动到对应的文件夹之中。
如果我禁用了这个选项，浏览器则会把任何的文件都保存到下载文件夹之中，那就更混乱了。
这与浏览器的“另存为”没有任何关系，我是使用浏览器插件辅助下载文件（插件的作用是将图片文件文件名重命名为含有图像ID、标题、作者等信息的新文件名）。插件使用的是自动下载，而浏览器最近的一次更新破坏了整个工作循环（获取图片→重命名及文件打包→保存到不同的库）
所以，我安装了谷歌浏览器。
基础服务出错是一件恼人的事情
