When I download a report, it automatically takes on the name Download.dvdprofiler, and it doesn't seem to know where to put the file. Why doesn't the report download as LocationList.dpr, for example? Do I just have to rename each file after downloading?

Just download the file to your desktop. Double click it and it will install. DVDProfiler knows what to do with the file, there's no need for you to rename it. You can delete the file from your desktop afterwards.

Thanks. For the benefit of others, I believe that the fact is that

1) yes, you better rename the part to the left of the period in order to keep successive files from overwriting each other,

2) you can save them anywhere, and

3) afterward, double-clicking on these files with the extension dvdprofiler will result in their being installed in the appropriate folder (which, by default at least, is somewhere in the folder designated as "My Documents"). Afterwords, get rid of *.dvdprofiler; back up the files which were installed.

Firefox does that for you automatically.

I am not downloading Report, but the behavior for layouts is the same. I always copy the name of the Layout before I start the download and then paste it to replace the "Download" in the suggested file name.

As for localtion, FireFox does remember the last location where I stored a previous download.
