Hi i just downloaded Windows 11 using CrystalFetch but I can't find the director where it downloaded file

If you download the ISOa, it usually shows a dialogue box where it shows you where to save the file.

hugotox commented 1 year ago

It doesn't do anything. Clicking download again finishes super fast and no dialog is shown. Any idea where the iso could be?

You may find the downloaded files in the User Library/Containers/llc.turing.CrystalFetch/Data/Library/Caches folder.

Same problem on my side. I attempted to download windows 11 using the Mac App store version, and there was no prompt to save it to a specific location either at the start, or when the download finishes. I did not find it in the ~Library/Containers/llc.turing.CrystalFetch/Data/Library/Caches directory, and it also wasn't in downloads. You can click download a second time and it blinks a bit, but there are no dialogs or anything.

To resolve it, I ended up removing the Mac App store version and installing it directly from the .dmg. Then after the download finished, I was prompted to move it to the Documents directory. It did not prompt for access to the Downloads directory, which is a bit odd. But I was able to get it to work.

My hunch is that there's an issue with permissions. (2.1.0 for both versions I tried). Hope that helps!

@jdlyga Thanks for that.

I think you meant ~/Library/... not ~Library/....

This is a usability issue. The files are being stored in the directory that I chose after downloading, but the dialog only closes without further feedback. I ended up downloading 5x after noticing that...

Same problem here with the Homebrew version - installing the DMG from the releases page on Github resolved it.

They aren't there in the library caches folder. I installed the dmg from github releases page and still don't have an ISO.

In a finder window you can press CMD + SHIFT + G, and paste the path: ~/Library/Containers/llc.turing.CrystalFetch/Data/Library/Caches

Or in a terminal:

cd ~/Library/Containers/llc.turing.CrystalFetch/Data/Library/Caches

The ISOs are in the caches

arjunironicss commented 7 months ago

found it manually but the path is something like this on my Mac /Users/ironics/Library/Containers/llc.turing.CrystalFetch/Data/Library/Caches

jammerxd commented 7 months ago

It's inconsistent with when it pops up with where to save the ISO - sometimes it does eventually pop up.

I propose the software make the following changes.

In the settings dialog, tell the user where the download is going to occur
Allow the user to change the download location
Perform the download directory to that location, and not move/copy after the download. For example, when I download the file gets put on one hard drive (which I don't want). Only later it gets copied to the correct hard-drive, which takes extra time.
