Feature request: Prompt a download location instead of downloading directly

[Developer2K]

I think it would be at least be a great option to prompt a download location instead of downloading directly.

It uses the default browser's settings "Ask where to save each file before downloading".

Also, GM_download with subpaths aren't supported in ViolentMonkey.

Although, there is a browser's File System Access API to prompt "Save as...". But it's still experimental, Chrome only. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/window/showSaveFilePicker

let fileHandle = await self.showSaveFilePicker({    
  suggestedName: `Example File System Access API Text File (${Date.now()}).txt`,
  types: [{
    description: "Text documents",
    accept: {
      "text/plain": [".txt"],
    },
  }],
});
let writable = await fileHandle.createWritable();
await writable.write(new Blob(["Current date: " + new Date()]));
await writable.close();

I think it's more effective to not spend time and attention to "Save as..." dialog, one click and a file is downloaded. Just sometimes sort your files, if you need. More over, Twitter's files are prefixed with [twitter], so it's not a problem so select them among other files in the download folder.

Apologies for not checking this first. Thank you for the reply, I'll use this method.
