Chrome: will not save to default folder after saving to another folder with Save In #96

Closed Sopor closed 4 years ago

Sopor commented 5 years ago

After using Save In and saving to one of the non default folders (non default folder in Chrome) it seems that when i save using Chrome's built in save, it will not save to the default folder. Instead it will use the last folder i have used in Save In.

i wonder if that can be related to the setting "Show last menu item"

To change the default Chrome path i need to use Save In again or else it will continue to use the last path i used in Save In. In Chrome setting under Location i can see the correct default path. Even if i press change and OK it will not work. It will continue to use the last path i used in Save In when i use Chrome Save link as or if i press on file extensions that will auto download without any prompt.

Seems like a weird issue, I'll investigate when I can. I don't use Chrome as my daily driver, so thanks for these reports!

I tried digging through the Chrome source code but I could not find the place where this is being set. Which OS are you on?

I can only suggest adding a . menu item to save-in as a workaround. That will use the default download directory.
