Safari: specify download directory

[npriess]

Hi,

I would like if it is possible to specify the destination folder for safari downloads before it starts.

So that a pop-up box will appear when I click a download.

1. Open Safari

2. Click on Safari Menu (next to the Apple icon) once application is opened

3. Select Preferences

4. Go to "Save download files to" and select where you would want to save your downloads.

I think npriess is looking for a feature like in Firefox where it prompts you where you want to download the file each time a download is initiated. As far as I know, Safari can't do that.

So it's not possible to specify a different directory from time to time via a pop-up box?

Also, of course, you can right click and select "Download Linked File As...".

Exactly that feature I guess I have to use firefox then.
