Chrome download file rename

If the download directory was empty, then filename will be empty and hence shutil. If the directory was not empty, filename will get the name of last file downloaded before current file which is still downloading and shutil.

You need to implement a method to wait for download to finish. It could be useful to also compare the file with current timestamp datetime. Show 2 more comments.

Hi, dmb and Kreuni, I would like to add this snippet into my code with python3. Can you please tell me which modification I would need to do to make it work on macOS?

Then, we need to store it so that our extension can later access it. We need to ensure that the filename is removed from the storage at some point. The best option I could think of is to remove the entry when we leave the page, since we usually leave the page after we have clicked the download link and the entry is thus no longer required.

The code is usual javascript along with another call to the storage API:. And that's it! Let's see how to intercept the download and rename the file with this newly constructed filename.
