Hi,
I am an Opera GX user since recently (thanks to Let's Game It Out) and was very surprised to discover that a feature which is common to most browser since a very long time is missing in such an advanced and customizable browser as Opera GX:
Please give us an option to enable the dialog box that let us open a file when downloading it. You could even improve the classic ubiquitous on by adding some more options as "Save and Open" to still ask where the user wants to save the file and open it when its done.
I have done some research and have found out that this is a long time ask for a lot of Opera (not only Opera GX) users who were (as I am) very disappointed to lose this feature.
I thus wanted to clarify some points:
- There will be no drawback in adding this feature if you add it as unactivated per default as users that were, as it has been reported, "confused" by not knowing whether the file is somewhere on the hard drive or not will not see any change
- Opera GX is mostly put forward as a browser designed for "gamers". I truly believe you can consider this marketing target as different from the lamba user who does not understand how downloading works and what is a temporary and/or cache folder
- It really is a loss compared to other browsers and has already pushed out many users (I have seen many reporting quitting Opera browsers in topics about this feature and friends I warn about this before making them chose Opera GX often consider it too much of a loss to start using OGX)
Best Regards and thanks for all the many useful features and customization options you did keep and add to this browser.
