Description

while run automated download task, using default download folder can sometimes be annoying. It is better to add download folder to config so we can go to this specific download folder for files downloaded. Thanks. To run a chrome mannualy from command line can also do this.

I don't know if Chrome DevTools can access the download list and if yes, add a tool to get download history could be more direct to handle automation.

Research direction

Start by locating the configuration and Chrome command-line or automation entry points that control downloaded files, then check whether Chrome DevTools exposes download history. Done means the requested download folder can be configured for automated downloads, with the separate history-tool idea clarified or scoped independently.
