      I have set download folder in settings to be
      C:\users\name\downloads\

      But when I download a file, the default location is the location of the previous saved file. How to make the download folder the one to be suggested everytime?

      windows 10 home, 64-bit
      opera 49.0.2725.39

        Windows remember the last used folder. I don't know if there is a way to prevent it.

          Was those files an .exe files?

          Opera asks where to save the .exe files every time - as a security measure -.

            and why dont we get an option on just whether to download or not, and not WHERE it will download.

            like we had with

            opera://flags/#show-save-file-dialog-on-risky-download

            I think a normal prompt is enough and less annoying.
            should be still secure enough.

                @zalex108 probably will. opera has removed a lot of nice things in the last 5-10 versions (for example on win8 or 10 it will no longer adhere to the system's theme, giving you no visual indication on whether opera is focused or not, and obviously this are 2 of the most annoying things.)
