Rated 4 out of 5
by scottobob, 4 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 4 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 18817801, 2 months agoIt works. So nice to find an extension that works as advertised.
To the developer: keep up the good work, and thank you for a quality product - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13866866, 2 months agoBrilliant add-on, love it! Option to hide from side bar would be good, I don't use it, nevertheless👍🏻
- Rated 5 out of 5by Davide, 2 months agoBug: if you enable "synchronize settings" on a *new* webbrowser/profile, it uploads these default settings, and "deletes" your original/previously synchronized settings on all other devices...

This is extension is awesome, thank you. Best method of saving and sharing webpages.
I also love that i can "zap" sections with uBlockOrigin and then save the result <3 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 5943837, 2 months ago
