Reviews & Comments of RegExp Download Organizer chrome extension

Good

needs a browse option

RegExp Download Organizer Does not work on edge browser. I wish you can add it to edge addons. and fully support edge browser.

Some RegExp autofill/autocomplete/syntax checking would be cool. Otherwise, this extension is perfect! So glad I don't have to sort my own Downloads folder, and I have so much control over where things are saved/stored. The default filters are more than enough for the average user!

Easy to use and very well made

Hands down it is one of the best extenstion out here in Chrome..!! took me some time to figure out and after some trial and error finally i have all my folders set up. Although i have one thing which i don't know if it is possible or not. For example, let's say i have three folders set up (1 for music, 2nd for installers an executable file and 3rd for Images) now how do i set up a rule where if any of the three extenstion mentioned above fails, it should go to my fourth folder, let's say Random? like SRT files or any random file type?

Pretty good. I just can't figure out how you sort by .ico file type?

Thank you! Whoever made this extension is a lifesaver. Kind of difficult to understand in the beginning but with some more info I was able to work it out!! THANK YOU!

great extension!

5/5 from me. Very useful and much needed functionality! Chrome, Edge, and Firefox need to implement this natively. This is the second expression-based download-router I tried, and not only does this one work properly as opposed to the previous one but the expression functionality was much more complete. Downfall is that Chrome & Edge (and possibly Opera as well) only allows extensions to put files in the default Download folder. If you have an NTFS file-system (if you're on Windows odds are you do) you can however get around this by means of using directory junctions (e.g. you put a file in the linked folder and it will be automatically created in the linked folder you created a junction to like a mirror image of anything you do in the linked folders, which can be anywhere else in your storage device(s), not just in the default Chrome & Edge default Download directory for example) This effectively creates a directory that is in more than one location on potentially more than one storage device where any changes you make in any of it's locations are effectively duplicated across all the linked directory locations instantly. You can use Command-Prompt (cmd.exe) or PowerShell to accomplish the creation of these links from the Downloads folder to elsewhere using "mklink". Command-line syntax of "mklink" is as follows: ͯ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯Ì ị mklink [[/d] | [/h] | [/j]] <link> <target> | Ŀ__________________________________| (Note: I just made the box around it to try and make it look more like it does when you can use proper HTML to display code or syntax of commands and such, hope it doesn't confuse you.) More information on "mklink" on Microsoft's site: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/mklink Or you can download a graphical Windows program that make's creating these junctions/symbolic links/etc. as simple as right-clicking a source folder and then selecting a context menu item and then right-clicking and selecting the context menu item on the destination folder to create your junction. Now simply route your downloads to your linked folder in the Chrome/Edge. You may have to use Drop As > Hardline Clone instead of Drop As > Junction after selecting the source link directory. To download the Link Shell Extension graphical link tool instead of using "mklink" via command-prompt, go here: https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html Here is a more thorough guide on using the graphical tool with pictures and all for those who are confused on how to use this properly: https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226/complete-guide-to-symbolic-links-symlinks-on-windows-or-linux/ Peace.

I downloaded into multiple "site" domain-named subfolders but later realized that searching for stuff through so many subfolders could be a hassle. So I was able to download everything into one location with filenames consisting of domain name, custom datetime, and filename. For example: C:\Users\username\Downloads\_MyDownloads\sitename.com_20210119-105358_filename.jpeg. When sorted alphabetically, the _MyDownloads folder is positioned at the top of my screen. Here are the rule settings I used: Description: Organize by domain name datetime files Referrer URL: .+?://([^/]+)/.* Destination path: _Downloads/${referrer:1}_${date:YYYYMMDD-HHmmss}_${filename} I disabled all other rules.

Does what it says on the tin. It wasn't hard for me as web developer but an example template with common downloads (zip, images, pdf, exe) would be very helpful for the majority of this extension's users.

Works and I know it, but I just don't have that much time to test those regexes along and see the results when exceptions occur. Media types are not that familiar, and the AND rule pertaining to the five matchers make it difficult to fall back to using only file suffixes to simplify the thing.

This is good you just have to understand how to create the rules. It looks at the drive your browser's downloads default to. I have mine set to an extra 3tb drive I put in my pc and once I set the rules it has been working great. Just what I was looking for.

Great extension for simple use.

Works perfectly

Great extension, takes a bit of time to get it to work. A place with more examples, and rules to DL would be helpful for new users. Suggestion, in case it is possible, could there be an option to add Tags to files, depending on the rule?

I like this extension but unfortunately it is conflicting with an other Chrome extension, Chrono Download Manager... :(

A better option for Downloads Router (RIP).

very useful and simple to use ! thank you so much

If you have just a single partition and you want it all organized in a superb manner then this extension is what you are looking for.As an IT person it was easy for me to setup the download rules. But it would be great if you provide a sample template file too..

Good extension! so far working great!

Not sure how this is supposed to work, but it doesn't for me. I set up a rule, clicked a file to download, but it still defaulted to the last directory I saved a file to rather than the directory the rule dictates. Disappointed.

Easy to use, setup a few rules and forget about the clutter in your download folder.

Any plans to port this to Firefox?

Minimalistic and easy to use!

I like it. I finally figured out what I was doing and it works fine. However, it should be more simplistic. For users like me

This is cool for basic usage and having all images go to an image folder, or torrents go to torrent folder, etc. For anything more complicated than that, it starts proving difficult to use due to the lack of documentation. For instance, trying to have images downloaded from facebook go into a facebook folder is proving difficult. Trying different regex schemes with no luck trial and error for hours is no fun. Some documentation on advanced techniques for THIS extension would be very valuable, if they are even supported.

Works like a charm !!

Holy *uck this is amazing!!! works perfectly good job!!!

Works on Mac and very useful! Will give 5 star if it had more documentation/tutorials. Spent 30 min trial and error.
