Cant change download dir for downloaded files

Hi,

Hope someone can help me here with this issue, I did manage to change the default download directory a few months ago in opera:config & the change stuck, then I uninstalled Opera Mobile to try Opera Mini (mainly as Mini has a instant back feature& the back feature on Mobile seems to take longer with each new version)

I uninstalled Mini (mainly due to the way it loads images & getting that tile look when scrolling pages ie when it seems to load images & also it was bypassing my Ad Blocker) then reinstalled Mobile from Market, now every time I change the default download folder in user settings save & restart Opera & then try & download a file the folder is Called Downloads & not download.

I have tried /mnt/sdcard/download/ & mnt/sdcard/download & even /sdcard/download but Opera seems to ignore my changes & always calls it Download & i can never find the files i have downloaded.

Galaxy S running Darky's rom 9.5

Cheers in advance for any help,
Banzi.

I would also like to add that in addition to being able to specify a custom download location, the user should be able to specify a download location for each download, such as with a "save as..." dialog the user can use to brwose for the location they wish to use if they want to momentarily bypass the default location.

I'm a long time user of Opera (desktop and mobile). I would also like to change the default download directory to somewhere in the sd card on my Sony Tablet s. I tried to change the directory in opera:config but unfortunately without any luck. It seems opera can't "see" my sd card.
First I would like to know if what I want is possible, and in that case how can it be done.

Thanks
