Stockcharts issue… resolved

Context: stockcharts updated their interface. Its arguably a net positive, but one thing was a major issue.

Issue: old interface, right click, select ‘save image as’.

A box would appear, you’d name the chart, and save.

New interface… right click, select ‘download chart image’.

… the chart would automatically save image to desktop.

I understand some don’t care, but for someone who wants to quickly name a chart, and then export elsewhere (without leaving the browser window), it was extremely annoying.


SOLUTION…

In browser settings…

Ensure ‘save files’ to *wherever you want
TICK for ‘always ask you where to save files’.

Now… user gets to choose name of chart, before its saved.

*Yes, this is for ‘Waterfox browser’, but all other browsers should have a similar setting.

I understand some might see this as a minor thing, but for some (yours truly included), we’re talking about THOUSANDS of extra mouse clicks per month.

As someone with borderline RSI, I aim to minimise typing/clicking.
