FDM 5 Preview 2a2d1

[Clive Sorensson]

The version now crashes every time when starts on Windows 10 insider build 10525+ x64 edition.

Unfortunately, the current FDM5 version doesn't Win10 insider. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Clive Sorensson]

Will you realease some source code for this ? I know it's a huge ammount of work but I'm interested in porting this to Linux ( using Qt 5 ).

Can anyone answer this one ? I'd just like to know given that there hasn't been much recent activity on sourceforge.

Thanks.

Sorry for the late response. Currently, our team is working on a cross-platform version of FDM5. We're planning to release FDM5 for Mac in the nearest future. So, the new source code may be published with the new release.

Better than the version 3.x

However I would like to:

1 - Drag and drop directly from the main screen.
2 - Resize to smaller sizes than it's possible now.

Thank you for the feature suggestion. It has been forwarded to our devs team. While the 'Drag&Drop' option is already being worked on, the integration of the latter one is still undecided.

Congratulation for this new version. It look quite easy to use and bundle with feature. However, the following feature are welcome.

Firstly : Silent mode .

when clicking on the file to be ed, the should start imediately to the default folder without prompting me to click on the button in FDM (even though FDM is minimize to tray or not).

An option in the setting menu should be available which allow us to choose from Automatic (explained above) or Choose a different already assigned folder if needed.


Secondly : A more appropriate option to schedule at any requested time / date

Thank & regards

Thank you for the report. It has been forwarded to our devs team.

Suggestion:
Add a keyboard button to let the browser take over the e.g. CTRL+click the link. I know the Cancel button in the Add box does that, but let that one do what it should do: cancel the .

For instance, sometimes I just want to query the size of the file, and when I 'cancel' the starts in the browser.

And if I disable that in Monitoring, there is no way to the to the browser.

In either case something clicks!

Thank you for the suggestion.

Hello guys!
I've been using FDM for more than 6 years.. thanks!
I'm still "cautious" to jump to FDM 5, because the current lack of FDM 3 features on it prevents me.
I loved the Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V function, though.
Is the site explorer, scheduler and web spider a possible feature on FDM 5?
Correct me if this is the wrong forum. Didn't find topics about it.
There's no way I'm the only one who liked those functions..

Thank you for the . While the Scheduler feature is going to be implemented in the next FDM5 release, the other two suggestions (Site Explorer and Web Spider) have been forwarded to our team for consideration.

Great looks although my suggestion would be keep most of the original FDM 3 and prior looks and functions but update the UI especially the context menus to a modern interface, like the one on this preview release. That would be great

I'm a big fan of FDM from my Windows days

I'm now a big Linux fan, but not really liking what's available for managers within Linux distros
I've tried uGet; KGet; DownThemAll; FlareGet etc.. but none of them have the same useful functionality that comes with FDM...

Please can someone look into bringing FDM to the Linux world

Thanks

Currently, our team is working on the cross-platform version of FDM5. We're planning to release FDM5 for Mac in the nearest future. Then, maybe, we will focus on the version for Linux.

If you are still going to use Chromium Embedded Framework, you should move to CEF3, I think. CEF1 is buggy and no longer actively developed or ed, while CEF3 has performance similar to Google Chrome so FDM 5 should be much faster. I have tested CEF3 sample apps and they work also with Windows XP SP3 at least for build 2454 (CEF 3.2454.1344.g2782fb8), so there is no reason to stay with CEF1 IMHO.

Thank you for the advice. You're absolutely right, CEF3 proves much better performance, so we're already working with it. The next FDM5 release will be based on CEF3.

First of all, a fundamental option is missing in Settings: set default directory. Without this, there is no true "silent monitoring". I mean, one has to confirm every time a starts, even if and when the app is meant to be hidden in the taskbar. Or am I missing something?
