Hi There,

I have merged your previous post on the same subject with this one, opening a new thread with the same query would not help. I don't delve too much into Applescript but the following seems to be working for me

set downloadURL to text returned of (display dialog "Enter URL" default answer "" buttons {"Download", "Cancel"} default button 1)

set the destination to (choose folder)

tell application "Brave Browser"
	activate
	open location downloadURL
	delay 1
	do shell script "curl -L " & downloadURL & " -o " & POSIX path of the destination & "demo.jpg"
end tell

HI Mannan/All,

Yes.. your provided code helps to download the URL file in the destination location.

In that, I found two difficulties.

1. File is downloaded in both "choosing destination" as well as "default download location"

2. When the file is downloaded in destination, the name of the zip file should vary. (In default Download location, the name is as expected)

Thanks for your great support!

Regards

SS

If you just need to download the file in the destination folder then there is no need to use the browser, just the curl command should do. Try the following

set downloadURL to text returned of (display dialog "Enter URL" default answer "" buttons {"Download", "Cancel"} default button 1)

set the destination to (choose folder)

do shell script "curl -L " & downloadURL & " -o " & POSIX path of the destination & "demo.jpg"
