How To Change Where Chrome Downloads Files
iv Answers 4
I recently put together a Chrome extension called Downloads Router that does exactly this -- based on MIME type rather than file extension, though. It also allows for routing based on source domain (east.k. files from iconfinder.com goes to images/icons/ instead of images/).

The Chrome extension Download Location Controller is described every bit:
Saves files in folders by their extensions.
(I haven't tried it, and so cannot comment on it, just its reviews are very positive.)
Another useful extension is the open-source Organize Downloads by Date, described as:
Organizes your download binder by appointment. Example: Year/Month/FILE
This extension automatically organizes your downloads past appointment, like so:
Earlier: Downloads/instance.file
After: Downloads/2018/10/example.file

Looking forrard to expanded Linux coverage. Existence able to add together pathing options to a my SDB (secondary difficult bulldoze) would be rad. I wlll be sure to provide some feedback and appreciate the feedback.

@mfg Thanks for the input! Accented paths on Linux and a nicer, dialog-style path selector are right at the top of the todo-list. :) Experience gratuitous to add together whatever and all bugfix/characteristic requests to the issues tracker on Bitbucket.

@mfg Hullo once more. Seems I managed to overlook this text on the chrome.downloads API page: "A file path relative to the Downloads directory to contain the downloaded file, mayhap containing subdirectories. Absolute paths, empty paths, and paths containing back-references ".." will cause an error." Interesting that it works with absolute paths on Win/OSX... I noticed that symlinks work, though, then that should practice the play a trick on for y'all for the moment!
