Don't forget "This file has already been downloaded, do you want to download it again?"
And the options are to cancel or download again but you can't open the already existing file from the prompt, so you might as well just download that fucking PDF for the fifth time since it's not as if you knew where the bloody thing's been downloaded anyway!
you guys don't simply have a folder called "Downloads" where everything goes?
Everything does not go there, different file types seem to go to different places. Successful downloads don't ever appear sometimes.
Each application can have its own default download location. Reddit apps were particularly bad about that and it may have carried over into lemmy as well. But learning the settings for the software you want to use isn't a terrible ask.
