Being a geek, I download a lot of stuff; RPMs, tar.gz, mp3s, and zips are my top categries. They all go in different places. But almost always the same place for a category. RPMs go to ~/RPMS, tar.gz goes to ~/src/others, etc. What I'd like to see is a box next "Save to Disk" button in the "helper applications Dialog that allows you to specify a default directory to go to for that file type. You would then be given the normal Save Dialog, so you can choose it yourself. A further refinement would be to have the save happen automatically if the user has checked a button called "save automatically" next to the aforementioned box.
So many good ideas, so little time...
