Description

Quickly download stuff to your pre-chosen folders from the comfort of your context menu!

**NOTE**: For security reasons, Chrome doesn't allow extensions to do certain things, such as choosing arbitrary download locations or disabling the "save as" dialog. But you can do it! I believe in you! Just read on.

How to use, step-by-step:
1. In the extension's settings page, set up a list of folders. These will appear on your context menu so you can download stuff directly to them.
2... Uhh, that's it.

** FAQ **

* How do I download to locations outside the default downloads folder?
You just need to set up symlinks (for more info, just head to the settings page after you install the extension).

* How do I get rid of the "save as" dialog?
Just head to your browser's preferences and disable this feature.

* I find this extension so outrageously stupid. What should I do?

if you have more than three destination folders you can't scroll when adding "new folder" in Chome :`-(

Well, it works, but only if you want to have less than fourth destinations. From the fourth on, the tiny options screen doesn't scroll down so you can't configure any path or alias.

Simple and convenient better than other similar but does not always save to the correct folder and not always an image, but which file without expansion
