I just installed the new release. Nice progress. The file naming configuration lets me set up exactly what I want for file names. This is definitely becoming my download app of choice.
One thing I would like to see in a future release is the ability to set the download destination and then disable changing it via clicking in the destination directory tree. For example, I download to ~/Pictures, and allow RPD to build the subdirectories based on the configuration I set up. That works very well. If I happen to have poked around the directory list to see what is already there (which, letâs admit, is pretty tempting since itâs sitting right there begging to be poked at), then the subdirectory that happens to be selected gets a new subdirectory tree built under it instead of ~/Pictures. This isnât a defect, but providing a means to âlock inâ a destination would be a nice idiot-proofing feature.
One way to provide such functionality is to provide a right-click option on the directory tree in the Destinations panel which allows the option of opening the system file browser (e.g. Gnome Files, Dolphin, etc.) at the directory that was right-clicked. That way the existing destination folder doesnât change, and you can check out what is already on your file system using a proper file browsing application. Using a proper file browser has the advantage of showing files too. Currently right-clicking in the directory tree in the Destination panel is the same as left-clicking, but it doesnât have to be like that.
