Summary

Hi team,

image

When downloading files, the API client currently doesn't pre-fill the name and extension type of the file.

It would greatly improve my user experience if there would be a "send + download" button which would send the payload and download the response immediately with the name and extension of the file pre-filled.

Optionally you could have a look at how other API clients do this.

Why should this be worked on?

Basically user experience:

The flow is currently: click send, wait for response, click download, change name, change filetype, save file. 😤

While it could be: click send + download, wait for response, and save file. 😌
