If I remember correctly, the first time I FlashGot something, it asked me where to save it. Now everything I get goes in that same directory; how do I change that? Mac Snow Leopard, Firefox 3.6.8, not using any download manager, just Firefox built-in.

Re: How do I change the location of the download folder?
Download folder is determined by your download manager or your FF settings (if using built-in).
You can set the FlashGot Temporary Directory; FlashGot | Options - Advanced.

Re: How do I change the location of the download folder?
Right now, I use FlashGot in combination with an add-on called "Download Manager Tweak"....see at:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/256/
or homepage:
http://dmextension.mozdev.org/
....*this may also help with some folks who have requested to have FlashGot queue for different download folders....it has an option for that....and both seem to work seamlessly with no problems. I also like the idea of the option for downloads in a sidebox, instead of the default external box.

Hmm. Doesn't work here. My Firefox download folder is the default 'Downloads' folder on the mac, while FlashGot saves into, umm, some obscure folder where I saved something the first time I used it.therube wrote:Download folder is determined by your download manager or your FF settings (if using built-in).

Re: How do I change the location of the download folder?
Try to check Tools|Options|Always ask me where to save files, then change the download directory for FlashGot when asked.tedthetrumpet wrote:Hmm. Doesn't work here.

At this point, if you want not to be asked again, uncheck the aforementioned option.

Re: How do I change the location of the download folder?
Ok, thanks; that worked; flipped the prefs in Firefox, FlashGot asked me for a new folder, flipped them back again when done.
