Media Save is a browser extension designed to enhance your ability to save various types of web content conveniently. Here are some of its key features and functionalities:
Context Menu: Media Save adds a context menu to your browser that allows you to save different types of media and web content, including images, videos, audio, links, text selections, and entire web pages. This makes it easy to save content that you come across while browsing the web.
Customized Folders: You can define specific folders or directories where you want to save the downloaded content. This gives you more control over how your downloads are organized on your computer.
Dynamic Directory Names: Media Save can automatically generate directory names for your downloads. This feature can be helpful for keeping your downloads organized and easily searchable.
Download Renaming: The extension offers flexible rules for renaming your downloads. You can customize how downloaded files are named based on your preferences, making it easier to identify them later.
Save as Shortcuts: Media Save provides the option to save content as shortcuts in various formats, such as .url, .desktop, or .html redirect. This can be useful for creating quick links to web content you want to access later.
Overcoming Limitations: The extension uses symlinks (symbolic links) to work around limitations of the WebExtension API, which typically restricts downloads to directories relative to the default download location. By creating symlinks, you can save content to specific directories of your choice.
Permissions: The extension uses permissions like <all_urls> to bypass Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) restrictions when checking for Content-Disposition headers in HTTP HEAD requests. It also uses the tabs permission to access the active page's title.
