[Feature Request] Store request sending settings locally (not globally)

• Insomnia Version: 6.5.3
• Operating System: Windows 10 (Build 1903)

Details

Currently Insomnia stores request settings like '‘send on interval’ globally for all requests. It would be better and also allow more use cases if this were per request.

Quoting @gschier

It wouldn’t be difficult, no. You’d have to create a new property on the RequestMeta model to store the preference, then change the sending code to use that instead of the globally-stored value

See following files: https://github.com/getinsomnia/insomnia/blob/92641f872a616a2a85b1c9e295197a57ac8d0842/packages/insomnia-app/app/models/request-meta.js#L20

Feel free @develohpanda!

You already have experience modifying the RequestMeta model so it shouldn’t be too difficult. Let me know if you need some guidance though 😄

My initial thought to achieve this would be to move the preference out of the component state and into the RequestMeta model. We should probably just start with downloadPath for now because making the “Repeat on Interval” one work would require some refactoring to the way requests are currently sent.

I would say go ahead @develohpanda - I would have done it myself but really don’t have the time, except the 15 minutes yesterday which I needed to even find the method called 😂
