More Opera awesomeness

I've been doing this for a while so figured I'd share this..

Normal when you click on something to download it you then have to navigate to where you usually keep whatever file type it is your are downloading, like videos, mp3's, pdf files etc..

In Opera, you can have any filetype be automatically downloaded to a preset folder. After you set it up you just click on links and they are put right into whatever folder you want without having to do anything.

How to set this up:

Go to opera preferences.
Click on advanced.
Click on downloads.

Now you get a list of mime types, don't worry you don't need to know what a mime type is, just look at the extensions and select one, for example mp3, then click edit.

Put a checkmark in "save to disk" and "do not ask for folder, save directly to", then click on browse and select the folder you want.

Voila, that's it.

Now click on an mp3 download link and nothing happens, except it's downloaded and saved in your chosen folder just like that.

One thing I use this for is nzb files for downloading news. I have a program that looks for nzb files in a folder on my fileserver and then loads that to start a usenet download. I setup nzb files to be downloaded to that folder and now all I need to do is click an nzb file and my fileserver starts downloading a move, fucking awesome.
