Comment #7 on issue 9023 by [email protected]: Enable downloads to a temporary location (view vs. save) http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=9023
Darin, my understanding is that lots of programs use temporary directories, and that the system will prompt users to clean those up if it runs out of space. I might be mistaken though. Otherwise, I think a simple algorithm like "delete if older than a week and not currently open" would be fine. I'd prefer to not have to implement this though. Dhhwai, we don't want the user to have to make a choice each time they download a file. Right now, [download] is the default action. The point of this feature request is to allow the user to [open] by default, and [download] by right-clicking and choosing "Save as...". We can't add an [open] context menu option in the default case, since we don't know a link is a download until the user clicks on it. We could look at the file extension as a heuristic for this, but it wouldn't work all the time. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
