Although this is partly a question about Chrome (where the problem is), this is more about the extensions (where I hope to find a solution).
I recall a plugin for FireFox that would take a given file type (i.e. .jpg) and push it to a [.jpg download] folder, instead of downloading it to the default [download] folder. I know how to change the default [download] folder; I am looking for a less heavy-handed approach. I would prefer answers that reference Chrome extensions, rather than some kind of background application that has the same functionality.
- Is there a similar plugin that will migrate specific file types to user-determined folders, rather than the default download folder?

I recently put together a Chrome extension called Downloads Router that does exactly this -- based on MIME type rather than file extension, though. It also allows for routing based on source domain (e.g. files from iconfinder.com goes to images/icons/ instead of images/).
