Download path route manager

About

If you're tired of frequent downloads in your web browser and switching save path, this extension could be the solution for you.

*Caution*: Rapid tab switching before the download starts immediately after hitting the download button can cause page URL confusion. Files before the download starts could be categorized by the tab changed after.

How to use:

There are three words what you need to know: Classification step, Condition and Criteria.

1. Set default download path in chrome Settings -> Downloads -> Location. Every downloaded files while using this extension will be saved under the folder.


2. Create your classification step. It has save path, an essential condition, ignoring constraint conditions and whitelist constraint conditions.

2-1. Save path is relative path under your default chrome download folder. Type folder path where you want and save it. Ex) /example/myfolder

2-2. Condition has several types and a criteria list.
Currently, there are Page path perfect match, Page path starts with and Extension perfect match types.
A condition checks current download satisfies one of criteria list. For example, if type is Extension perfect match and criteria has jpg and png, zip doesn't satisfy the condition.

2-3. If a classification step has only an essential condition and downloaded file satisfies it, classification is finished and the file will be saved at path of the classification step.
But if there are constraints conditions as like ignoring or whitelist, extension will do additional check before doing essential condition check.
Each constraints has list of condition. Ignoring constraint checks whether the downloaded file avoids all conditions in the list. In contrast, to pass whitelist constraint, file should satisfy all conditions in the whitelist.

2-4. If downloaded file passes the constraints and satisfies the essential condition, it will saved into path of the classification step and classification will be finished.
However, if the file failed to get saving path at the classification step, it will passed to next classification step and process repeats.
If the file failed to get saving path from all classification step, it will be saved into your default chrome download path.

3. You can export and import your download classification setting to your PC for backup. Importing will overwrite current setting.
