Reviews for OpenDownload² by mbman
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Still gave it 5 stars as it was so useful until now ... has been broken ever since FF26 though. Please bring it back to life.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (3.5.0.1-signed).Thanks for your rating. Version 3.5.1 is being worked on. :-)
I hope I'll manage to find and squash that issue. It doesn't happen for me.

I left a review earlier and you (the dev) replied, thanks - but I can't reply to that. You said files are auto-deleted after a while, and that there is a hidden option for specifying a download folder (sorry for missing that info in the description). But if I set another folder, I most likely do *not* want files to be automatically deleted ... certainly not other files in that folder that were not downloaded via this add-on. Is that the case or not?p.s. If there is a proper user forum for discussing such issues then I apologise for not finding it.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (3.4.2.1-signed).Yes, files in the particular folder will be automatically deleted after a while. That's one of the reasons why I don't have a dialog for that: People will think before changing the folder setting. ;-) Maybe you might want to create a sub-directory; if you want your downloads on the Desktop, make a new folder "Desktop\AlreadyRunDownloads" or something.
And yes, there is a forum for that: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=1003435

I've been using this for a long while, nice add-on!
It's missing two options:
1) delete file after execution
2) specify the download directory before execution. Right now it's in "%TEMP%\mozOpenDownload" which is not always what i want.
For instance, I'd prefer most of them to go in my usual downloads folder so I keep them afterwards, rather than having to navigate to "C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Temp\mozOpenDownload" and move it from there ...
1.) Files will be auto-deleted after some time.
2.) Use the extensions.openDownload2.downloadPath setting as explained in the add-on's description ...
