How To Automatically Save Downloaded Files Into Different Folder Based On Files Extension
How to save your downloaded files into different folder depend on the file extension.
Did you feel sometime your download job not easier as you think. Here is the scenario - to download a certain different file extension will need you to choose which folder you want to save the file. If you download a .jpg, .png or other images files surely you want to put in certain folder where you can easily access the files. Meanwhile the MP3 or Real Player files in the certain music folder. For Internet Explorer user, there is no possible solution for this problem at the moment I think. But if you use Firefox there are add-on that sure can help you manage all the downloaded job more easier.
Simple solution to Firefox user is you can download a Download Sort add-on for Firefox. Download Sort is a browser extension that allows you to automatically send downloads to specific folders depending on the file extension or keyword in the URL. I already try this add-on and really like the Download Sort job, it will help you keep all your download file in systematic way - different file extension in different folder.
Below some of the features:
- Match by file extension, by keyword in the URL, or regular expression in the URL
- Option to save the file with the default filename automatically, prompt for filename in a specific folder, or prompt in the last used folder for that listing
- Four options in the case that the file already exists in the specified folder: Prompt for a new filename, Auto-increment the filename, Cancel the download, Overwrite the existing file
- When a download is automatically canceled because of a duplicate, there are options to play an error sound and/or show the existing file in it’s folder
- Save in sub-folders: date, actual domain, referring domain, extension, or complete URL hierarchy
You can head to Download Sort add-on pages for more information.
