Regarding Discord specifically.

Currently you can either click on an image to open it in the default browser or copy the link. I don't like my browser being opened or having a new tab opened if I just want to download a picture or video or file (jpg, png, mp4, gif, webm, zip, etc), it puts a large overhead on the whole process and makes it rather slow if I want to download many images from a channel or thread.

Would be nice if right-clicking an image offered me a "Save as..." option and a "Save in Downloads" option that automatically saves whatever one clicked on in the default Downloads directory, or maybe in a configurable directory.

This would make my life immensely easier and be another big argument for using Ripcord over the native Discord (as if more arguments were needed!), which shares the problem of not being able to right-click and download an image/video/file and has always annoyed me quite a lot.

I think it should be an easy fix. Would try to do it myself if it was open source, alas it isn't. :)

Good idea

Hey there --

So I just joined a new team at work and they have a weird obsession with posting files in Slack instead of some more appropriate venue -- so like, random data files and other junk.

This same job, they use Okta for accessing Slack. What happens at least once a day, if not more than once a day, is:

• Someone posts a file in slack that I need to download in order to work on it
• I get the URL from Ripcord, and I paste it into my browser using a "container" tab that I use for all work items -- this container SHOULD already be authenticated with Slack.
• Slack bumps me to Okta to re-authenticate for some reason (... every other slack I've used leaves me logged in). When I re-authenticate with Okta, I get kicked out of Slack in ripcord and have to re-do the HAR file procedure.
• Finally I can access the file and download it. I quit the web client because I don't need that crap.

Anyway... this is a long way of saying, if Ripcord could just let me save the file directly and presumably use the credentials that it already has cached, then I won't have to open things in a browser which makes Okta regenerate credentials and makes me have to re-auth with ripcord. I feel like this is a fairly straight forward thing to do?

If it helps motivate, I'd happily pay $200 for this feature.

This ticket is like 3 years old and I have no idea if this is even on the map, though again this is a pretty big pain point.

I'd even take a righ-click option to 'copy cURL command' so I could paste it into an xterm. I'm dyin' over here :)
