Comment on Updated Edge and it now seems to put a frame with rounded corners around every website
steersman2484@sh.itjust.works 9 months agoBut you can just change the default download location to /tmp on firefox. Or you can choose ask me every time and set /tmp as your favorites, than you can reach it with a single click.
I don’t know if this fits your use case

But it’s still a workaround, I have to save it and waiting for the save dialog to appear
It’s much easier to just have two buttons, “open” (save in tmp and open) and “save”
On windows, temp doesn’t get cleaned automatically at boot, but edge takes care of that and deletes the file when you close it

The ability to pick a temp folder to store your downloads is a feature, not a workaround, and every browser has it since forever™.
There’s absolutely no way in Elon Musk’s xHell or Linus Torvalds kmodHeaven that you choose Edge just because it saves you 2.7s every time you download pepelore compilations in 4k HDR AV1.

My use case is this: opening invoices from the ERM. The web app sends it as a download. I open one every 2 minutes. On edge I have an “open” button that does what it says. On chrome/Firefox/opera/Vivaldi it just downloads. Or I need to set it for opening to a dialog for a path that might be preset to a temporary directory (that on windows still must be manually cleaned). The time saving in my use case is a lot and this setting is synced to all my machines, where the temp directory workaround is not and I have to set to each single machine

You’re on Linux, create a simple bash script that would execute
cd ~/Downloads && rm *.pdfand schedule it with cron. You spent more time writing these comments about the problem than solving it. I mean, of course, it’s up to you: you can talk about issues that you’re facing and use Edge if it satisfies you. I just find it a bit unusual, given that people often move to Linux because they don’t want to use Microsoft products.Fal@yiffit.net 9 months ago
