If there isnt any way for chrome to notify extensions they I have a hack in mind, but that would be pretty brutal

The out of box installation of Chrome/Chromium downloads anything in Downloads folder. We are keep a inotify watch(ugly) for new files downloaded, but I am not sure if inotify can find out which process is creating a file.

1) There is an option to change the Download directory.
2) There is an option for prompting the user to choose the download folder everything the user downloads something.
These two options might break the hacky workaround.

If we are read the config file which stores the download directory, then 1 can be fixed, but 2 would still break.
