Save In…: Firefox Add-on for Organizing Downloads

Save In… is a Firefox add-on designed for enhancing your download experience. It offers a selection of features such as a context menu for saving media into user-defined directories relative to the default location, dynamic directory naming, rules-based renaming of downloads and an option to save as shortcuts. The WebExtension API restricts saving exclusively into directories close to the default download location, but there's a way around this limitation using Symlinks. Please configure the add-on appropriately before using.

Add-on summary

Analyze keywords

Adds a context menu to save media {image, video, audio, link, selection, page} in user-defined folders or directories relative to the default download location.

Save into dynamically named directories.

Flexible rules-based download renaming and routing.

Option to save as shortcuts {.url, .desktop, .html redirect}.

The WebExtension API only allows saving into directories relative to the default download directory. Symlinks can be used to get around this limitation:

Windows: mklink /D C:\path\to\symlink D:\path\to\actual macOS/Unix: ln -s /path/to/actual /path/to/symlink

Make sure the actual directories exist, or downloads will silently fail.

User reviews
I went looking for something like this. The default "save as..." always defaults to the last place I saved something which I too often just hit the enter key on and then go searching for the file. This solves that problem. I'm not using any of the fancy routing/renaming or other features. Just defaulting to Downloads is all I wanted.
