Announcing the Open/Save as/Save and Delete prompts for downloads!
Update: Open/SaveAs is now available on Edge Stable ( version >= 86.0.622.38) Greetings, Microsoft Edge Insiders! As a part of our top feedback, we have been looking at implementing features from Microsoft Edge legacy. One of those items is a feature asking users if they want to Open, Save As, Save, or Cancel a download. This week, we're excited to announce that this setting is now available in our Dev and Canary channels! We expect all builds with version >= 87.0.629.0 to have this feature. To enable it, navigate to edge://settings/downloads and toggle on, "Ask me what to do with each download." Once you download a file after enabling that setting, you will see options to: Open the file, which downloads it to a temporary folder and opens the file. This temporary folder will attempt to clear itself whenever you start a new browser session Save as, which opens the file explorer, allowing you to rename and choose where the file is saved Save the file, located under the ... button, which saves the file to your default downloads folder (you can also change this on the Downloads settings page) Cancel the file download entirely, this is also located under the ... button Another feature we're adding is the ability to delete downloads directly from the browser itself. If you head to the Downloads page, you can now right-click on a downloaded item (or the ... menu for the item in the download shelf/bar) and select "Delete file." Once you do this, the file will be deleted from your computer. We hope that this will help users who like to download files automatically while still keeping their downloads folder clean. We encourage you to give these changes a try! Have a suggestion on how to improve these new download features? Navigate to the browser's ... menu > Help and feedback > Send feedback to let us know your thoughts. - The Microsoft Edge Product TeamRe: Bottom Download bar lag 4-5sec
Maan2003 Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I am the PM for downloads. It looks like you are reporting 3 problems: 1. With a large number of tabs open, downloading a file from OneDrive results in the taskbar's green progress bar to start multiple seconds before the browser's download shelf task bar starts. 2. There is a persistent backplate (mouse hover effect) on the download shelf download item that does not go away. 3. You want a delete button to exist in the download shelf download item context menu Regarding 1: I have attempted to reproduce this bug, but I was unsuccessful. I have >60 unique tabs, downloaded a 60mb file from OneDrive. The green taskbar progress bar started within 1 second of the download shelf progress bar. My memory usage is 11GB out of 16GB available. If you have any further information on how to reproduce this, please let us know! Regarding 2: Thanks for finding this bug. I was able to reproduce this and have filed a bug for our engineers to fix! As a temporary workaround, open the file by clicking the "Open file" link (which avoids the hover effect from triggering and getting stuck in this state). Regarding 3: We would love to track your feature request. The way we track these is through the "Send feedback" feature on the top-right of the browser (generally 3rd button from the right). Deleted thanks for making me aware of this post!Re: ClickOnce application downloads instead of directly opening the app
CodeDJ , thanks for the feedback! We would definitely need to think through some interesting security implications here (it would be analagous to setting "Always run executables" for downloads). Vidmo , sorry I couldn't get back to you earlier; it looks like you were able to answer your question. We do not currently have plans to enable ClickOnce for ALL users, but you currently should have access to group policy to ensure that your organization has ClickOnce turned on by default if necessary. The policy is described here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-policies#clickonceenable aclowe , please take a look at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-policies#clickonceenabled for the group policy to support exactly what you mentioned As Eric mentioned, we will be looking into the vsto bug! Thanks everyone for your feedback!Re: ClickOnce application downloads instead of directly opening the app
CodeDJ Just updating this thread to say that ClickOnce support is now in Canary (79.0.283.0). Users may opt into using ClickOnce by heading to the about:flags page and looking for "#edge-click-once". More information on this is available here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/edge-learn-more-co-di?branch=pr-en-us-105 Thanks everyone for your patience!Re: [Fixed] Edge Canary Shows "Downloads are managed by your organization"
Thanks for following up, Deleted ! The downloads team has been working hard trying to get ClickOnce to work, so we have not had a chance to bugfix this, but please stay tuned! Please continue to follow up if you still keep seeing this as a problem after a while!Re: [Fixed] Edge Canary Shows "Downloads are managed by your organization"
Deleted as an update, we have been able to reproduce this problem. We believe that when users enable "Ask where to save each file before downloading", the banner will show. This is a bug and the development team has been notified of this. A temporary workaround will be to disable this option if the banner is disruptive to you.Re: ClickOnce application downloads instead of directly opening the app
aclowe Thanks for the feedback, it definitely helps that we can show customer need when prioritizing our features. Engineering work is still being put into this feature, so it is definitely still a priority! Will keep people updated via this thread!Re: [Fixed] Edge Canary Shows "Downloads are managed by your organization"
Deleted Thanks for the information! We have filed a bug to look into this. If you could create a ticket via https://microsoftedgesupport.microsoft.com, it could help us more easily reach out to you if we have any questions! Thanks!
