Feature Request: Custom download path

[HeyMeco]

Issue

I want to have my moodle folder be in my documents folder and not in my downloads folder.

Problem

Without setting all downloads to the documents folder but I couldn't see a option to select a custom download path.

Question

Is it possible to add a custom download path setting? Thanks for the awesome extension!

Hey,

due to security reasons extension are not allowed to save any files to anywhere outside the "Downloads" directory.

As a workaround you can use symbolic links.

1. Activate the following setting

   

2. Create your desired folder in your "Documents" folder

3. Delete the "Moodle" folder in the "Downloads" directory if it already exists (you can move it's content to the directory created in step 2)

4. Create a symbolic link which points from your custom documents folder to the "Moodle" folder in the "Downloads"

For example, on Mac/Linux you can use the following command in the terminal.

ln -s ~/Documents/MyMoodleDocuments ~/Downloads/Moodle

This should place the files automatically inside your desired location (e.g. MyMoodleDocuments). I tested in on my machine and it worked well.

Hope that helps and thanks for using MoodleBuddy 😊

@marcelreppi thanks for the elaborate response! Need to check if it'll work with the icloud drive folder
