Improvement suggestion #14

Closed mecedo closed 6 years ago

mecedo commented 6 years ago

Is it possible to add additional option to Save URL to file on local machine?

jonathanmccann commented 6 years ago

Does the browser's option of "Save Page As" achieve what you need?

mecedo commented 6 years ago

Doesn’t. It saves html file, not url.

I guess I'm confused as to what you are looking for then. Do you want to save the actual URL string (ie https://www.github.com) to a file? If that's not it either, please give me an example of what you're looking to achieve.

mecedo commented 6 years ago

Exactly. Save currently opened address to url file. I’ve used this https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/addon/savelink/ but unfortunately it’s incompatible with FF 57. Your extension looks like very similar so my question is, is it hard for you to add third option to your extension for saving url to “url file” on local computer :)

Regards.

Mecedo.

Thank you for sharing that extension. Unfortunately, I would say that this goes out of the scope I would like for my current extension and would be better suited as a standalone add-on.
