Choosing to "Replace" a downloaded page, clears all old copies of that page. |
||||
Issue descriptionVersion: 56.0.2890.0 OS: Android After downloading several copies of the same url (news site), I opted to "Replace" the last download page. After the download finished I noticed all the other copies had also been deleted. This may be unintended for users that were saving a specific version of page (like the front page of a news site that was memorable to them). What steps will reproduce the problem? (1) Start Chrome with offline pages enabled. (2) Go to a url, save multiple copies using the download button and choosing "Create new file" (3) Save a new copy, and choose the "Replace" option. What is the expected output? The most recent downloaded copy will be replaced. What do you see instead? All old versions of the page are deleted, and the new copy is saved. Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

Likely will be resolved once infobar is fully up to spec.

I don't know how you're all come up to removing the replace option, but this was the worst decision ever. If you wanted to unclutter space in the download popup, you cold have added an 'add remove button' checkbox to download settings (or at least to chrome://flags) and have it off by default. But you just simply removed a feature. Not having a replace button bothers me personally because when I download updates to books I read, I could replace old copy and then the reader opens a new one at my last position of reading (and not like it's a new file). And also no dozens of duplicates, it was really convenient before v56. Other people might have other or similar reasons. |
