Why do you expand this to mean something that I never implied? I never
said that we should remove "Download to Local Directory".
Because there's no point to having a separate download to local
directory if you're going to erase the files later. The dangers
of leaping to conclusions based on what I think you are thinking
is becoming apparent.
But regardless, maybe a tool is all that is really needed here.
Yes, and that saves everyone from thinking about how to change
setup again - which is good.
