FDM3 -> FDM6 Option to manage duplicate links instead of just renaming them

Postby abadguy87 » Sat Jan 18, 2020 5:39 pm

Hello, right now the manager just renames the file with (1) if it already exist, it would be nice to have an option to choose how the manager deals with duplicate links, for example, to have the option to skip a file if it already exist and not download it. Thank you.

Saving videos from Youtube, Facebook and other streaming sites could be a great feature. For the ones that don't wanna see that the streaming site removed his favorite video, making it unaccessible forever.

Well, saving a stream in progress is rather problematic, but thank you, this has been suggested some time ago.

I miss the log feature of FDM 5. In FDM 6, at the bottom bar, there are only two tabs: a General and Progress tab. But in FDM 5 there is also the log tab. That way you know why your downloads are stuck. Thank you

Hello,
We plan to add Connections tab. It will show you all the connections a download has. Would it be a good replace of the Log tab for you?

Please add video download button to new version as same as IDM. I want to see the download button in the top corner of the video.
Thanks.

For me, I have no intentions on ever updating to FDM6 or newer. I doubt you have any plans to restore the old UI or allow us to use a similar layout to the older UI, therefore it's not for me. I do not like the new minimal layout and loss of features. When upgrading to a new version of something, we shouldn't be losing things, but gaining new stuff. The amount of missing features going from 3 to 6 is confusing. Who thought 6 was ready for release with this many things missing?

Give us back the old UI as an option, add all the missing features from 3.x and then perhaps people would even consider upgrading.

Re: FDM3 -> FDM6 Resize Window and Move Columns

Postby 55uj670v » Wed Mar 04, 2020 1:45 pm

@Clive Sorensson
resize the window program in all dimensions possibile.

the minimum size actually is 910 pixel x 640 (a huge window for a minimum size)

for example in home page

Image

there is not a truthful image.
It's NOT possibile to resize the window program to (for example) 480 pixel x 330 pixel.

Image

Then We have this columns in the FDM

Image

name, status, speed, size, added

because we can't change the order?
name, size, status, added, speed (for example)
because we can't hide any of these? (added)
because we can't add someone else? (time)

the size of the window smallest.

actually is that:

(not resizable in a smaller format)

but we want also little like this

Image

obviously also the buttons are too big

FDM3 -> FDM6 maximum number of simultanee download

Postby 55uj670v » Wed Mar 04, 2020 2:04 pm

Is possibile to add in the home window a button to view, select and change the maximum number of simultaneous downloads on the fly?
a perfect example is present in the program Internet Download Accelerator
