Download Folder Location

[shysh...@gmail.com]

Good day,

First of all, thank you for providing this portable version of chromium.

I would like to ask a few questions:

1. I am trying to run a web app called by a VB.net application and I want to set a custom Download folder location. Is there an available switch?

Here is my current command line switches

ChromiumPortable.exe --disable-plugins --no-default-browser-check --no-startup-window --no-first-run --disable-translate --app=http://localhost/myapp

I also wanted to delete the custom Download Folder/ once Chromium exits for security reason. But I can also do this using VB

2. Is there a way to disable chromium from displaying href attributes in the status bar? Or disable entire status bar using a switch?

Thanks a lot

1. Not currently, no.  But I could code support for setting the default download directory from an environment variable.

    However, I'm wary of the security implications.  If I go that route, I'll likely make the launcher (ChromiumPortable.exe) explicitly unset it.  Unless you need directory portability, calling Chromium.exe directly will work just fine.

2. Again, no.  And I don't know yet how I'd go around doing it.

This seems like a specific use case.  Wouldn't something like Electron be more appropriate?
