Rated 4 out of 5
by scottobob, 5 years agoIf the page being annotated is already a local file, then SingleFile should save back to that file instead of making a new file in the Downloads folder.
This would be useful when re-annotating a file you've already saved.
Edit 1: There is an option "File name > filename conflict resolution" but this provides no way to save to the original file except by renavigating the whole path to the original html source file, and re-specifying the filename.
What I'm asking for is that SingleFile literally saves back to the original source html file (possibly with an overwrite warning for safety, although I would be happier without that).
Edit 2: disabling the option "File name > open the "Save as" dialog to confirm the file name" doesn't affect this problem; the file is still written to the Downloads directory instead of its original location.

Developer response
posted 5 years agoThere is an option for that, see "File name > filename conflict resolution".
Edit 1: I think it's possible by also disabling the option "File name > open the "Save as" dialog to confirm the file name" (this is the default state)
Edit 2: It's technically impossible for an extension to save the file in another folder than the "Downloads" folder or its subfolders.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18680106, a month agoWorks exactly as advertised, finally pressing Ctrl+S actually does what it's supposed to instead of making a broken document.

- Rated 5 out of 5by addonexplorer, 2 months agoExcellent archival tool! These days you cannot trust that any page will be available or drastically modified in the future.
SingleFile grabs everything or just parts, incredibly usefu and I use this along with Obsidian webclipper + Obsidian. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18977738, 2 months ago
