Feature suggestion!

I use Fluid for Gmail, and I love it. However, I wish there was a way
to "Download Link To..." when downloading attachments. Right now, my
only option is to click to download and it puts it in my downloads
folder (which I can configure), but I receive a bunch of files from
different clients, and it would be great if I could put those files
where I want them instead of downloading to the download folder, then
go to the finder and manually move it to the appropriate place.

Anyway, small little thing, but it would be great if this could be
enabled. (And if you can't and I just didn't see it, someone please
let me know! :) )

Er, sorry, I meant:

"If you CAN do what I am suggesting and I just don't see how to do
it... please let me know!"

Oh, sorry, you probably want to use something like Automator or Hazel to monitor your downloads directory and move the files around as appropriate.

Yeah, what I really want is to be able to right-click (or control-
click) a download link and have Fluid ask me where I want to save the
file. This is available in every other browser, so it suprises me that
Fluid doesn't have this feature. :)

Thanks!

I just thought I'd ping this and see if anyone else is wanting this
feature... My guess is that it might be an easy one to implement! :)

=== To recap
I want to the ability to right/control-click a download link (like an
attachment in Gmail) and prompt for a dialog box asking me where to
save the file. Just like in Safari, where you have the contextual menu
that says: "Download Linked File As..."

Thanks!
