Issue 333: Request: Instead of just being able to save what you download- be able to run. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=333
Comment #6 by clive386: I can understand where people are coming from with downloading it and then running it however it's not always necessary to do that. Take, for example, Torrents or those web setup programs that the likes of Yahoo! and Microsoft love so much. When you launch a torrent, most programs nowadays will copy the file into their own folder, leaving you with a redundant file in your download folder. As for programs that use a web setup installer, once you've performed the initial run, the file is useless to you. If you want to change or repair, you can use the Add/Remove Programs entry. If you want to reinstall it, you can either use the cached 'real' installer or go and re-download the tiny little boot-strapper. Either way, without this 'run' option, you end up with a bunch of 'temporary' files which you'll probably never use again yet are cluttering up your download folder. I can understand that this is a minor feature request and there are way more important things out there that need addressing but I feel that this should at least be considered as it's more than a request for feature cloning, it's a practical function that can be very useful in a number of different scenarios. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
