Hi,

after years of Palemoon usage I migrated back to Firefox and miss the integration of cliget into the default dialog.
I know it's not possible anymore since Webextensions.
Can you at least offer a context dialog entry for cliget as workaround just like DownThemAll! does?

I second that this is an important feature. And it's not only about convenience. but also functionality:

I would love to use cligat to download images (an other embedded content, such as videos) from websites. Currently, this is not possible, because they are not recognized by cliget.

(side note: I know that there are other tools to download images and videos, but they all operate within Firefox (and therefore on the same machine as Firefox, which is a severe limitation in some cases)

The website typically does not contain a "download link" for the images, of course. But even if I use an addon like "Save Images to Downloads" they do not show up in cliget (even though they do show up in my download list).

Sometimes, one can get around this issue like this:

  • click any download on the page
  • copy the curl or wget statement
  • replace only the download URL with the URL of the image

Of course, this does not work on pages without any download links.

A "save as dialog integration" would not only make cliget more convenient to use, but also solve the "image issue" and possibly others, bringing new feature and use cases to cliget.
