![]() Well it would only be the url of one file, so would have to update for that, and may not be the same result for all files. If the files are in the same directory on the server, they're saved in the same directory locally. ![]() I just tested this and it behaved as expected. If the interface is alienating or confusing then fewer newcomers will commit to using it, which ultimately means less interest and support for the software. I've been using DTA since the early 2000s, but I care about things being easy to use and easy to understand for the sake of allowing other people to enjoy this great software. No one wants that, surely?Ĭlunky? It's just the URL (which is helpful to see) with two tiny buttons next to it? Yeah, it creates a subdirectory for each individual image. I would make this "without protocol or filename", since including the filename just puts every individual image in its own folder, which is pointless. It's a wonder I was even able to find my way here and post here. I find Git Hub really confusing and don't know how to navigate. I should probably add that I'm biased towards a minimal UI, partially because I've been using DTA for years so a) know my way around and b) am slightly resistant to change. If you're using *url*/*name*.*ext* then yes, that would be pointless, but is not the tag's fault. I would make this "without protocol or filename", since including the filename just puts every individual image in its own folder, which is pointless.Īre you sure about this? I don't have time to test this morning, but that should depend on the rest of the mask - if you just use *url* as the mask, they should be stored in the same directory tree as on the server (with an extra layer for the hostname). Then to the right, there are buttons, to change which portion is used. The right most portion of the URL (after the last slash) is in bold, indicating this will be used as the *URL portion*. Then directly below this box, you have the heading "URL portion", followed by the site's full URL excluding protocol and filename. Instead of the default directory being DTA downloads\, you make it DTA downloads\*url portion*\. I would also move this button directly under (or between) the two fields so it seems more immediately related. I would definitely add a tooltip to this, or better still, change the button to text, so that it reads "Show naming codes…" or "List of naming codes…" (or something like that). I didn't know what the tags 'legend' button was at first. This makes everything clearer to understand, and makes it easier to quickly change the directory or filename string without affecting the other (most of the time you would only want to change one or the other).įor the Sub directory field, I would make the default value something like DTA downloads\ - this would both illustrate how it works, and keep all the downloads in a neat location by default. Split the mask field into two - the top one with the heading "Sub directory" and the bottom one with the heading "File name format". If it were me, I would make the following changes, to make it easier to use (these are humble suggestions): To me, the word "mask" does not suggest that you can do this stuff. ![]() Not as good as being able to change directory, but still, it means I can now get things done, and use this add-on properly. Hey, thanks for the reply nmaier :) I didn't realize you could do this. ![]() you could use *y*/*m*/*d*/*name*.*ext* to create folders by date, or *batch*/*name*.*ext* to have it create a new numbered subflolder for each time you add new downloads. However, you can still have DownThemAll create subfolders, by using the mask.Į.g.
