The browser should remember the last local download-location for each domain you download from. Shouldn't be hard to implement, or at least offer through some addon.

Currently you have to navigate the folder list to choose the right folder unless the most recently downloaded file went into the same folder. Much of that effort could be saved if opera kept a smart history with last download location per most similar url (or t least same domain), and launches the save dialog with the path parameter.

For example Firefox remembers the download location per domain.

To summarize:

• Saving every download in the same folder: Opera supports this.
• Saving every download in a custom folder: Opera supports this. It seems to default (at least for me) to the folder where I saved the last download.
• Saving every download in a custom folder, defaulting to the last folder I used for the given domain: Other browsers support this. Opera doesn't seem to -- at least nobody has provided a solution to make it work this way.

I also think that this would be very useful.

It doesn't.

As I said, it does it here. Maybe you should try with a new profile or a new installation.

Here it usually remembers the last used folder.

But starting folder is always the same. Every time I have to choose the save path

You can enable the setting to be asked where to save downloads all the time.

Yes. I enabled this option. But starting folder is always the same. Every time I have to choose the save path. It's not very convenient when you need to sort a lot of downloads into folders.

What kind of fool decided that this behavior is correct?

Bill Gates?

Having unique folders for downloads, images, documents, etc is something that started in OS.

The fact that the opera tries to keep everything in one folder is very annoying

You can enable the setting to be asked where to save downloads all the time.

But I agree that such feature must be smart. I would want all downloads go into default folder and ability to set specific location for specific domains; blindly remembering dowload locations for every domain would be not that good.

If you always download from a different site, it's not your use case and I can fully understand that from your perspective it appears unnecessary.

Are there Opera users with the same use case who regularly download files (literature, exercises etc.) from same web pages and organize them in a folder structure? I know, many of such users are on Firefox.
