Stories in DMs #17

Open sn3akyb3ar opened 5 months ago

sn3akyb3ar commented 5 months ago

I noticed that when you open a story shared with you via Direct Messages, downloader either doesn't download anything, or it downloads one of three things - 1) your own story, 2) text file with your username (I forgot to copy what was in it), 3) the last story you saw (or last one you downloaded? not sure). It works correctly after refreshing the page.

Please try the latest version(v2.0.2) to see whether the problem still exists.

@TheKonka

Yep, the problem still persists.

I did some quick testing:

1) I sent Luna Blaise's story to myself from my second account and opened it from Direct - it was saved without any problems. 2) Then I asked a friend to DM me any story - addon saved Luna's story again. 3) Opened some stories from my feed - all saved with no problems. 4) Opened some stories from different celebrity's pages - and that's where it gets more weird. a) if they have only one story or if it's the first story - it still downloads Luna's story. All subsequent stories are downloaded as intended. If I switch to second story and then back to the first one. it's also downloaded as intended lol. b) but if I saw some of their stories before and I open their second story - downloader doesn't download neither the opened story nor Luna's (until refreshing or switching to next story and back.)

Tested on Thorium 119 x64, but I'll check on clean Firefox and let you know if it still happens there.

Strange. Restarted browser and tried again - and even after restart it still downloads Luna's story. Also, this thing happens a lot lately: image image

Thank you for your testing and feedback! I have found the cause. Sometimes the link has an media id in it, and sometimes it doesn't. In both cases I handle it differently. The problem is more likely to occur when there is no media id.

If I switch to second story and then back to the first one. it's also downloaded as intended

When you back to the first one, the link will have the media id on it and so media can be downloaded normally. That's why it works weird. I've updated a new version(v2.0.4) to fix this, but it is still under review. Unfortunately, I'm not able to reproduce the second problem at the moment, I'll keep an eye on it.

I also have the 2nd problem. For me, it started after updating to v2.0.4. On Firefox 123, it does not always occur. I notice it when I open stories from the homepage. For you Following section
