10.3.9 'Save As' option workaround?

Expand Post »

Hello.

Yes, I finally upgraded again to X 3.9.

But if I right click an image to save to a folder or such, I have to click the Option key to get the Contextual box to change from Save to Desktop to Save As.

Just wondering if there is a workaround for this? Like in Terminal or something. So the contextual box has Save As as it's default.

Thanks in advance for any ideas,
Dan

As far as I know, the only workaround for saving images to a directory you choose in Safari is by holding down the option key.

Another choice is to use Mozilla's Firefox, which allows you to choose "Save As..." directly from the right-click contextual menu.

Thanks Joe.
I kind of figured that, but thought there might be some way to change it to the opposite function.
I am familiar with Firefox's ability. Opera works the same way.
