Comment #53 on issue 333 by [email protected]: 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
I have set my download location to %temp%\ChromeDownloads\, so that they will automatically be saved into the temporary folder, and be deleted after a week. However, for large downloads (size > 256MB) I now use a self-created program that deletes the file immediately after you close the program. But I don't understand: this issue is very old, and it is the 14th most requested feature. Why doesn't Chrome add it? It doesn't seem to difficult to me. In my own program I added this feature in about 3 hours, fully working, no files are left behind! If they are afraid for security because the file stays in %temp%: They could create a process that deletes the files once they come free (no longer in use). They could also use the (annoying) googleupdate process for this. Furtherthemore: it is the users choise if he/she saves the file in a temporary location. Also: if it really is because of this security, then they should think: what is more dangerous? A file saved in %temp% or a file in My Documents? I guess they are both equal dangerous for private files. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
