Automatically controlling where a file will be saved based on file extension and/or origin

I would like Mozilla to automatically save exe files in one
directory, zip files in another directory and html in a third etc.
Is this possible? If it is, how would I go about doing it.

It would also be nice if files from web site X automatically went
into directory X. Is this possible? If it is, how would I go about
doing it.

Thank you in advance for all replies.

 

Hi Daniel

I haven't used this particular extension but I remembered having seen it
when looking through the extensions lists.

I think it should do what you require - it's called Download Sort and
can be found at
http://downloadstatusbar.mozdev.org/downsort/index.html

Cheers

Thank you. This looks like just what I want but the install file is
for Firefox 2.5. Can I use it with Mozilla 1.6 or 1.7?

If not, how different is Firefox from Mozilla? If I change over to
Firefox, will I be able to keep my preferences?

 

Apologies Daniel - I seem to be a bit Firefox obsessed nowadays.

This link

http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/downsort

shows an install for Mozilla, but I haven't tried it.

I moved over to Firefox when FF reached 0.8 (I think). As a browser
there isn't a big difference with Mozilla, except it is a stand-alone
browser, no email or composer.

The best Mozilla functions, like tabbed browsing, are all there.

I really like FF and Thunderbird for email.

Anyway, I hope that link is useful.

I do not use the email or composer in Mozilla. I will probably
switch if I can keep my preferences. Do you know if I can?

 

Hi Daniel

I assume you mean changing settings by typing about:config in the
address bar?

If so, yep, you can do that in FF.

As this link >
http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.phtml?title=Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries

says - Many of the entries (preferences) that appear in Firefox will
also apply to Mozilla and vice versa.

I don't know if you can transfer your existing preferences across to FF
from Moz, but my betting is that you can. Any hints anyone?

I just tried that link and after the warning message I got an error
message saying: "Not a valid install package". I tried the FireFox
installation and got a message saying: "install script not found".

I found a message from the author saying that the Mozilla version
has not worked for a while. It looks as if I will have to switch
over to FireFox if I want to use Download Sort.
