Make changing the target path more useful #52

Open ssokolow opened 6 years ago

ssokolow commented 6 years ago

With DownThemAll, I made heavy use of the history dropdown for the destination directory.

Currently, with Download Star, I just leave the target path on its default of Downloads/DownloadStar and manually go in to copy files into place, because it has no history dropdown and I see no indication that it's going to remember my changes on a per-domain basis.

However, if I knew it supported remembering the target path on a per-domain basis (or at least offered a history dropdown), I could either symlink various folders inside Downloads to where I actually want downloads to go, or write a little helper daemon to accomplish the same thing by responding to inotify IN_CLOSE_WRITE events.

Now that I think about it, both a history drop-down and per-site settings would be ideal because I sometimes divide a single site between two or more folders depending on how the content I'm downloading is tagged.
