✨ What Makes This Extension Special?

🔴 Force Mode - The "Master Switch"
Working on a specific project? Activate Force Mode with a single click and redirect ALL your downloads to a dedicated folder temporarily.

Perfect for:
- Collecting all resources for a client project in one place
- Downloading research materials for a specific topic
- Organizing files for a presentation or report
- Any situation where you want everything in one folder without creating permanent rules

Flexible Destination Options:
- Choose from your saved favorite folders
- Enter a custom path on the fly
- Switch between modes instantly from the popup

🧠 Smart Auto Routing - Set It and Forget It
Create intelligent rules once, and let the extension sort your files automatically forever.

Route by File Type:
- Send all .pdf files to Documents/Invoices
- Direct .jpg, .png images to Photos/Work
- Move .zip archives to Downloads/Archives

Route by Filename Pattern:
- Files containing "invoice" → Documents/Invoices
- Files starting with "report_" → Work/Reports
- Files with dates like "2024-01-15" → organized by pattern

Route by Download Source (URL):
- All downloads from github.com → Dev/GitHub
- Files from drive.google.com → Cloud/GoogleDrive
- Downloads from specific websites → custom folders

Priority Control:
Simply drag and drop rules to change their order. The first matching rule wins!

🎯 Combined Match Types - Maximum Flexibility
Each rule can now combine conditions! Match against:
- Multiple Filename Patterns (OR)
- Multiple URL Patterns (OR)
- Logic: (Any Filename) AND (Any URL)

This gives you unprecedented control over how your downloads are organized.

📂 Intelligent Path Management
The extension automatically handles both relative and absolute paths:

Relative Paths: Images/Vacation creates a folder inside your Downloads directory
Absolute Paths: Paste C:\Users\YourName\Downloads\Project and the extension automatically detects the Downloads folder and uses the relative part (Project)

No need to worry about path formats - it just works!

🧪 Regex Playground - Test Before You Commit
Not a regex expert? No problem!

Built-in Testing Tool:
- Type a test filename or URL
- See instantly which rule would match
- Experiment with patterns before creating rules
- Learn regex through practical examples

- All PDF files: \.pdf$

🆘 Troubleshooting

Downloads not routing?
- Check that "Enable Routing" is turned ON in the popup
- Verify your regex pattern in the Playground
- Ensure the rule is active (not disabled)
- Check rule priority order

Path not working?
- Chrome can only save to Downloads folder (security restriction)
- Use relative paths like Work/Projects not absolute paths
- If pasting absolute paths, ensure they contain "Downloads" folder

Rule not matching?
- Test in Regex Playground first
- Check if match type is correct (Filename vs URL)
- Verify regex syntax (case-sensitive by default)
- Check if a higher-priority rule is matching first
