<![CDATA[Download a file using webapp-container]]>Hey. Tell me how to download a file using webapp-container in /home/phablet/Downloads ?

Exec=webapp-container --webappUrlPatterns="title.name" --enable-back-forward http://my-site.com

If possible using webapp-container.
Sorry, I could not find webapp-container -h

But why, though? Wouldn't it have been perfectly OK for Morph to also download in it's own private folder? The files could have been exported from there to another location on the filesystem via Content Hub (as they already can be currently)

I don't know the specifics of why things work this way in regards to webapp-container/morph. IMO, the current behavior is wrong. But if one wants to change it, they should open an issue about the behavior on github. This isn't the place to resolve that.

Yes, the main Morph browser is a privileged case, so file downloads with it will go into the Downloads folder.

It's a method of storing data such as settings or such, on web sites, in a local database.

Yes, the main Morph browser is a privileged case, so file downloads with it will go into the Downloads folder.

Or there special restriction.

So, apps (that includes webapps) are confined in UT. They are not allowed to read/write into the normal Downloads folder. There is no special option to webapp-container that changes this.
