Save Image Router

Description

I am no longer actively maintaining this extension until further notice, because I have switched back to Firefox.
Feel free to fork it and do whatever the license permits.
Or use another similar extension:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/save-in%E2%80%A6/jpblofcpgfjikaapfedldfeilmpgkedf?hl=en-US
(that is also available for Firefox).

###############

Save images (and videos) to custom folders from the right-click context menu.

Chrome allows saving files only within the configured downloads location. All the configured directories will go under the downloads location of Chrome. E.g. directory `Nature` will become `/Users/name/Downloads/Nature` when `/Users/name/Downloads` is the configured download location in Chrome.

If the browser keeps opening the save dialog, make sure to uncheck "Ask where to save each file before downloading" in Chrome settings.

Use slash (`/`) or backslash (`\`) for sub-directories. Empty directory will go to the Chrome download location directly.

Directory names may not contain these characters: ? : ~ " < > * |

The extension may not work properly if other download managing extensions are installed (which use chrome.downloads.onDeterminingFilename API)!
