The "Enter Your Link" pop-up window does not recall previous download settings, resulting in wasted time #686

System Details:

Issue Description and steps to reproduce:

The Enter Your Link window invoked from the browser using the Download with Persepolis context menu entry does not recall (some) previous download settings, causing wasted time as the user has to re-enter them. 2 of the most notable settings that aren't recalled are:

  1. The Add to category: section of the Link tab, which reverts to Single Downloads on every invocation even if Scheduled Downloads has been previously selected:

AddToCategory

The section should either recall the previous setting by default or have a Preference that allows such recollection.

  1. The Download Folder: section of the More Options tab, which should have a drop-down menu of previously used download folders instead of defaulting to the same one for every invocation:

DownloadFolder

Thank you :) I think the default category must be on single downloads. Because most of the time users want to download a link Immediately. Why don't you change the default download folder from preferences window?

I think the default category must be on single downloads.

It's OK for that to be the default. But if the user previously selected Scheduled Downloads, then Persepolis should recall that setting automatically.

Why don't you change the default download folder from preferences window?

Because I have multiple download folders depending on what I'm downloading. They don't all go to the same folder. Therefore, I would like an easier way to select recently used download folders in the More Options tab.

I'm agree with you. I'll work on it. Thanks for opening this issue.
