Not sure why I tried to do that. I knew when I did it that it wouldn’t work and I was kicking my self for being stupid when the prompt showed up asking me to confirm that I wanted to download to that location. My jaw hit the metaphorical floor!

Now I’m wondering what other neat tricks I’ve missed over the years!

To be clear this is in Firefox on NixOS with the KDE6 desktop environment. No clue if it works on other browsers, DEs, or OSs.

    7zip doesn’t have a builtin gui on Linux. Your file manager’s “compress” and “extract” functions should be able to utilize it as needed. Only power users need all the bits and dials beyond that, and they can use the terminal to harness all the power of the 7z command.
