This is my suggestion for adding a category to Download Path.

For example, in the Download Capture section in Extension Option Settings, I have selected the "Ask detail settings before auto download" option. So every time I download a file, it will display the Options page and I can add the Donwnload Path that I want to download. I know in the Donwnload Path section you have a function to remember the previously downloaded path so that when you need to download, you just need to select the desired path again. But if my path is too long or too many paths are displayed, it will be easy to choose the wrong path.
If possible, you could create a type function to create Category or Catalog types and assign the corresponding path to each type, I think it would be even easier to use.

For example, I create 2 items, Music and Movie, in Category or Catalog and assign the paths to them as C:\Users\User\Downloads\Music and C:\Users\User\Downloads\Movie.
When I'm downloading a music file, I just need to select Music in Category or Catalog and it will automatically assign the Donwnload Path to C:\Users\User\Downloads\Music that I configured before.

Thank you for reading my article, I really appreciate and hope you can do this if possible.

A solution for you:

  • Create more Aria2-RPC-Server items with the same RPC URL but variety download locations for extension and assign the category as RPC name.

  • Then you are able to select the download category by right-clicking the download link (Ensure that Ask details before export is disabled ).

  • Even, the extension could automatically select the category after you configure the URL patterns for each RPC item properly, if the Ask details before auto download is off.

For more detail, you could refer to #76.

  • Also, if you would like to use Ask details before auto download, you could also create more RPC items in the general settings of Task Management UI , then set different category name for each RPC item and set variety Download Location in Aria2 settings: Basic settings for each RPC item. After these step, you could choose the category by switching the RPC server from the top-left corner of Task Management UI when creating new download task.

PS: It is not a simple work to add category in new task option page.

Hope our user will enjoy the solution above.
