Downloads Folder needs a broader access permission available

Open michael-hawker opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

There's also some weird restrictions on existing capabilities, like access to the Downloads folder only lets you create a sub-directory, see doc issue here. If you're trying to make an alternate browser, this is a weird experience for anyone using any other browser. Maybe there needs to be a AllDownloads capability that's slightly broader?

Thanks for creating the issues. Tracking as a feature request; the problem is well-understood so we don't need any more details.

@mominshaikhdevs yes, I referenced that issue in the original post. It was asked to separate this request out separately, as it was a more specific actionable request:

This is a missing feature (downloads folder capability) -- please add another issue for it. Thanks!
