The collecting stage has many variations: How about other alternative workflows?Īnswer The general idea of the extension is to collect links to the resources list (with optional filtering) and finally to add checked items to the download queue. The downloading items are now visible in the downloads tab of the popup you can manage this list in the usual manner (pause, resume, open or remove individual items etc)
Finally, you check desired items individually or all at once and start immediate downloading using the corresponding button (on right bottom corner). If the list is still too large (you want only smaller subset) you may continue the filtering process indicating some relevant terms in the next text filter field. Now only pdf type resources show in the list. So the next step is to filter this list, such that only desired pdfs stays here. This usually fills the resources list with all sort of links, not only the desired pdfs. The most basic workflow it to open the extension popup (via the browser toolbar icon) and click there the Load page links button. The user defined folders are only relative to default browser's download directory this is a general web extensions security limitation.Īnswer Say for example you have opened a web page with many pdf resources.The extension doesn't work in private browsing mode.This extension is a generalist file downloader: for some very specific types it may be better to use other, more specialized extensions (video downloaders, for example).Unfortunately, I have no way to test the extension on MacOS! Development is mainly done in Windows, with limited testing in Linux (latest Ubuntu).The extension is still in early development, so bug reports or suggestions are welcomed.Flexible download management, the user can:Ī) pause, resume, open downloaded files etc.User-defined Favorite Folders, easily accessible when the user writes a custom download directory.User-defined Automatic Folders where downloads can be automatically directed based on custom rules.For images there is a special thumbnails view where items may be ordered by the size descending order or filtered by width/height.Advanced filtering / mass renaming capabilities using various name masks.The links may be extracted from multiple open tabs, clipboard, or from selected text on web pages.This is a very light and unobtrusive Firefox add-on (no annoying sounds or animations only minimal notifications).
