[Feature Request] Allow Custom Save Location

Open JLChamberlain opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Please add an option to allow the user to set a different save location to that of the save location set in Chrome. I've set my save location to my Desktop since that's where I want the majority of my stuff saved however I want my saved notes to be saved to a different location. I don't always have to keep dragging my saves to intended folder I want.

I agree. the default folder /download/ should be configurable.

This extension's developer commented somewhere that this is impossible due to browser's file security.

I just upload open-source chrome extension markclipper that allow to set custom location. Just give write permission for obsidian vault folder and markClipper save clipped contents into selected folder. github link : mark-clipper - obsidian web clipper" Chrome web store: markClip - chrome web store

@anilf01 I just had a look into this and the File System API being used. It looks like this indeed does work in Chrome (and chromium-based browsers) but unfortunately still doesn't work for Firefox and Safari. I may attempt to implement this anyway for chrome specifically, but it may not be viable due to the cross-compatibility of this extension.
