Hi all,
i've a question.. I need to Save a document from Internet explorer, my issue is: how can i check when the popup is appeared?
I have the first object with "WINDOWS TITLE 1", then, when i push download button another page is opened with another title "WINDOWS TITLE 2" where it says "download will be available in a moment.. " then this same page modify his title in "WINDOWS TITLE 3" with the windows popup (and that is another object to interact with it).

Now, how can i check for popup exist if i'm not able to attach that page until the popup showing? I'm not able to pick the popup without attach this page.

Thanks in advance

Hi Vrat,

I'm afraid there's not much you can do about that via the process. When you select the option to open and save, it will save to the default downloads folder. 

However, if you update the downloads folder location in the browser settings, it should save it where you need. The challenge you may have is it will do this for all processes using that particular Windows user.

You could just open it without saving, but that will open the document as uneditable and that may affect your ability to attach to it and save using other methods.

Thanks

Also if i select "Save as" option? I can't select a specific folder?

I can't say that I tried, being able to save it was enough for what I needed. Unfortunately that was in my old job, so I don't have access to try it.

It may work to use the Save As option, but often Windows would also store something in a temp folder as well, from the moment you open it.
