Automatically organize downloads inside default download location into sub-directories labelled by year and month.
Automatically organize Downloads folder by year & month.
Instructions:
1. Set "Download location" in Advanced Settings.
2. Download anything!
3. Find your download at "<Download location>/<Year>-<Month>/"
For example, if you were downloading file named "helloworld.txt" on June 11, 2014 and your default Download location is set to "C:\Users\Paul\Downloads", then you'd find the downloaded file here:
"C:\Users\Paul\Downloads\2014-06\helloworld.txt"
This extension will work whether you have "Ask where to save each file before downloading" enabled or disabled.
It's compatible with Saft Extension's Sort Download by Date function on Safari.
The script is based on download_filename_controller sample extension.

- (2020-06-28) Jesse Burgheimer: This seems like a trivial concern, but I really appreciate my downloads being sorted by month. It's not as strict as as a sort by filetype and saving folder is too extreme for my needs. Sorting by month is *just right* for me, so thanks for this little extension.
