Prompt for download location for IFS in iACS

Would like to have an option to present a pop up for download location, in addition to the settings currently in Preferences, when selecting a file to download from the Integrated File System (IFS) interface.


Use Case:

Users typically download IFS files to various locations, based on need. Currently, they have to remember to go change the default in Preferences before downloading any files, OR they have to move the file from the default location after the download.

    We will provide a Download... action in our next update that will allow the current preference setting to be overridden for the current download.

    Not part of this but also consider allowing multi-file selection and directory selection for copying. Single file process is very slow except for, well, single files.

    IBM has received this requirement and is evaluating it. A response will be provided when evaluation is complete.
