When a file is received the link is usually so long that you need to reduce the font size of the terminal to select the link. It would be great if there was an option that received files could just autosave to a predetermined folder. :)

Expected Behavior

A simple option to select autosave received files yes/no and which directory to save #them.

Current Behavior

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Context

This is literally the only issue (from my personal perspective) that keeps me from using profanity.

Environment

  • Give us the version and build information output generated by profanity -v
  • If you could not yet build profanity, mention the revision you try to build from
  • Operating System/Distribution
  • glib version
  • libstrophe version
  • Some bugs might be due to specific implementation in the server. /serversoftware example.domain can be helpful

How about using: /url save <tab>? :)

Autosaving files that someone sends you sounds like a bad idea.

I can understand the desire for that feature, it's basically how all other clients work ...

We could make it configurable to auto save only for e.g. contacts in your roster and "private MUCs".

Three settings, autosave.{1on1,muc,pm} with different TBD levels!? Or sth. in that direction. We'll have to think about the exact details.

Was unaware of this and yes it certainly is extremely helpful

It really does make life massively easier, it's the little things like this that just make the software itself more polished and also massively improve productivity for the end user. (imo)

mcabber for sure isn't. Neither is poezio and aparte.
Conversations has a setting to auto download depending on size but AFAIK the default is not to auto download. I'm not sure about Gajim. Dino seems to autodownload though.

For GUI clients it might make sense, since they embed (for example) images in their widget.

I'm not against a setting for it though. If someone wants to implement such a feature.
