Prism and Download path

[Luca Pascali]

Hi everyone.

I'm using prism for having an independent app for several sites.
I'm facing the problem of download paths: Prism downloads only into
Desktop directory without asking where I would like to save the file
or asking if I prefer using a program to directly open that file.

The problem is quite important because Desktop directory is
inaccessible (I can't set it writeable: security issue).

With the prism interface I'm not able to change that behaviour, and
accessing the about:config url is not so simple because new app links
are saved again only on desktop, hence that is not a adoptable way.

How can I change this behaviour ? Editing files with a text editor
does not frighten me, but I prefer knowing what to change before
changing it :-)
The solutions I'm looking for are either allowing the opening of the
SaveAs dialog or to choose a different directory where I can save
files.

TIA

Luca

I changed the file defaults/preferences/preferences.js:

pref("browser.download.useDownloadDir", false);

You can also set this as a user preference in your profile dir.
