Hope a feature which can classify the downloaded item

[v_2e]

In the menu "Edit(E) -> Preference(P) -> General" we can see "file transfer"
I hope you can add a feature so that we can choose different folder to save different kind of files.
i.e. set *.mp3 to download in the folder "Music". :-)

I think this is a very specific customisation that should be left up to an extension.

I think Midori needs a more clever method for downloading files.
Midori could find out the file type of the downloaded file.

If it is a music file => *.mp3/*.ogg/... the download folder would be music.
This behaviour could be done for the other folder like documents (*.ppt, *.xls, *.pdf,*.doc, *.odt, ...).
For pictures (*.png, *.jpeg, *.bmp, ...).
For videos (*.mov, *.webm, *.avi, ...).

The downloads folder would contain files which don't concern the folders documents, pictures, music and videos.
Examples of files for the downloads folder would be *.deb, *.exe, *.zip, ...)

Instead of putting all kind of file into the downloads folder a more appropriate folder destination should be chosen if possible.
This would have some advantages like :

  - There would be less clutter in the downloads folder so it's a benefit in terms of organization.
  - Most apps could synchronize with the default folders mentioned above (documents, photos, music, videos).

     Examples :
       Shotwell could import the downloaded files in the pictures folder directly to the photo library.
       The same with Noise from the music folder to the music library, etc.
