Who was still using 'Right click and save as'?


I certainly do -- I almost always want to change the file name to something that makes sense at my end. I don't often care what makes sense at the creator's end; I want to find the file quickly when I need it.


I do! Why?

* I just want to save the file, not view/open it.

* I can quickly determine where I want a file to be saved.

* I can rename the file instantly.

* Some files are huge, so I rather save than view.

* Bulk-Downloading many files at once.

Just because you don't need it in your daily work flow doesn't make it obsolete for everyone else.


I do. I save files in the right place as soon as they are downloaded: that way you never have a messy Downloads folder or a crowded desktop.


I am, with Security Now podcasts. I don't want to open those with VLC plugin which doesn't work too well.
