Advanced Download Rules based on filename/type/domain

[2mustange]

Something I struggle with is managing my download files. There are days I sit down and have to run through my folders to see if i want to keep and organize them, or delete them.

With modern browsers I feel like the ability to have an advanced options for determining where a download can go would be a great QOL feature.

Examples of this:
If I download a photo and its a .png that I know i want it go into my \Pictures\ folder so it would download into that location versus \Downloads

File is type ".png" download to "C:\Users\2mustange\Pictures\"

Or

Say when attending college you have a learning site you frequent and download files from, you can set up a rule that when downloading from it the file goes to a folder specifically for that school/class

File from: "learn.university.edu" download to "C:\Users\2mustange\Documents\University_Folder

File Name:
Maybe file names have a certain consistency to them.

File name contains "Mozilla" download to "H:\Mozilla_Foundation_Docs" 

I would say chaining conditions together would also make sense. If downloads are From "some website" and contain ".type" data type then download to "Some folder"

The rules will run based on priority order so similar matching conditions would not fight over where the files destination would go.

Download rules could also be wrapped around a flag to enable/disable in case certain rules seem to effect others. Rules would maintain priority order  but if disabled would not be checked.

Lastly, if rules are blocked by any kind of write access they are skipped and if no rule runs the default location is used.
