Dynamic Downloads not routing #103

Closed axbrev closed 5 years ago

axbrev commented 5 years ago

Not sure if I am missing something here but tried a simple routing rule using the guide and it still keeps going to the "downloads" folder. Any idea why - is there anything further I need to do after installing the extension? I need to do more complex rules but tried the basic example below and still couldn't get to work.

fileext: zip into: zips/:unixdate:.:fileext:

Are you using the download via the context menu option? The extension only routes if the download is triggered that way.

Ah ok that explains it, dont think I noticed that it only worked that way in any of the documentation.

Are there any plans to have this work without the context menu? I think this extension would be even more useful with this ability. I currently use an extension "Downloads Router" for this but I think your routing logic is much more advanced - eg. that extension only looks at the host in the url not a full url. But thats just a minor example, your extension can do so much more.

It might be possible; it's something I can consider. Will need some more investigation though.

Thank you! Happy to test if needed. Would be amazing.
