@srirambv So, what should be expected behaviour? whole path of the file ? like file:///Users/krishav/Library/Application%20Support/brave/brave_wallet_recovery.txt instead of brave_wallet_recovery.txt

[kumarrishav]

what should be the origin in this scenario? file:///Users/krishav/Library/Application%20Support/brave/ledger-state.json or we should hide origin in these (file:/// and blob:chrome-extension) case?

Seems like it's the expected behaviour : https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/blob/master/js/state/siteUtil.js#L800

It should show path like this to keeping it in line for all downloads.

But for files downloaded from within the app we could skip it over. cc: @bbondy @bsclifton for thoughts

Or can we have this in preference to disable the origin? Though it's good show the origin but as a user it doesn't much value (i think). @bbondy @bsclifton

[Jacalz]

I am with you on disabling it since it doesn't have much value to me 😉 @kumarrishav
My suggestion is having it in the generals tab right under default download path if so 👌

[bsclifton]

@kumarrishav I can't think of any good reason we'd want to hide this. Because downloads can't always be trusted, showing the origin and download method (HTTP/HTTPS) is very important, IMO. Otherwise, all you know was that a download happened

For local files, we could choose to show something different... like "Local file" or show the folder it was downloaded to

[kumarrishav]

@bsclifton agree with you. So, question is what content we should show for local files (file:/// , blob:chrome-extension)

[diracdeltas]

FWIW, #8645 will allow us to load the PDF file directly instead of via a blob: URL, so that would partly solve the issue.

[diracdeltas]

we could just replace local URL origins (file:, blob:, data:, chrome-extension:, chrome: etc.) with Local file instead of the full origin.
