DownMark 1.9.2: Enclosing Folders for Clean Exports and Dollar Protection Toggle

DownMark 1.9.2 is now available on the App Store and Chrome Web Store. This release focuses on two quality-of-life improvements that users have been asking for: keeping exports tidy with an enclosing folder, and giving you control over how dollar signs are handled in your Markdown output.

Enclosing Folders: Cleaner Exports, Every Time

When you clip a page with DownMark, you get a Markdown file plus a folder of images. That’s a pair of items to manage — and over time, your download folder can get cluttered with loose files.

The new “Wrap output in enclosing folder” option solves this. When enabled, DownMark creates a folder named after the Markdown filename and places both the .md file and images inside it. Instead of a loose file-plus-folder pair, everything is contained in one tidy directory.

Before (without enclosing folder):

Downloads/
├── My Article.md
└── My Article_images/
    ├── image1.png
    └── image2.png

After (with enclosing folder):

Downloads/
└── My Article/
    ├── My Article.md
    └── images/
        ├── image1.png
        └── image2.png

This is especially useful if you clip frequently — instead of wrangling pairs of files, you get a single self-contained folder per page. Drag it to a project folder, archive it, or batch-clean with confidence.

The option is available in Mac App Preferences and is off by default, so existing users won’t see any change until they turn it on.

Protect Dollar Amounts: Your Choice, Not Ours

In DownMark 1.8, we fixed a bug where $ signs in plain text were being misinterpreted as math formula delimiters by Markdown renderers. The fix was broad — every $ got escaped.

But we heard from users who actually need dollar signs to be treated as math delimiters in their workflow, for example when clipping technical or scientific articles that use LaTeX-style math notation. A one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for everyone.

The “Protect Dollar Amounts” toggle in the Extension Options page gives you the choice:

• ON (default): Dollar signs in amounts (e.g. $123) are preserved, preventing Markdown renderers from treating them as math expressions
• OFF: Dollar signs pass through as-is, allowing math renderers to interpret them as delimiters

This means you can flip the behavior based on what you’re clipping. Saving a product page or financial article? Keep it on. Saving a math or scientific paper? Turn it off so formulas render correctly.

The option is accessible from the browser extension’s options page:

• Safari: Open the DownMark Mac App → click “Open Safari Extension Preferences…” → click the DownMark extension entry to open its settings. Alternatively, go to Safari Settings → Extensions → DownMark and click on the extension entry.
• Chrome: Right-click the DownMark toolbar icon → “Options”, or navigate to chrome://extensions → DownMark → Details → Extension options.
