1 day ago Hi there. thank you for your feedback
ABDM's native UI is too small to work perfectly on large screens, I hope it can be adapted to HD resolution; secondly, the font display is not obvious in dark color mode, I hope it can be improved to improve the font size and color, and maybe a separate option can be added to set the interface font.
yes I will work on it later
The separate file download window is usually used to check the thread usage or the download log during the download, after the download is finished, these functions are not needed,
I agreed! I will do that whenever I add a new page for completion dialog. to separate it from the progress page. For now the download progress page acts as a Download "Properties" page and "Completion" Page which causes problems. lets imagine that download is in 90% and user opens that properties to press "Open File"... on download completion the app will close that "Properties Page" instead which is not good for this UI because user don't expect this close behavior
I found that its takeover seems to be realized by the suffix, it can't take over the download link without suffix, in some net disk such as: mega or in some forums download the file, ABDM can't take over, similar download URL such as: [https://www.sordum.org/downloads/?st-desktop.ini-editor] and [job.php?action=download&aid=4525632] won't be taken over, even if copied to the application, the download will only download as an html webpage or a file like job.php, not the correct file. I didn't find the option to take over the download links without suffixes in the browser extension, I hope in the next updates, the option will be added or the function to take over the downloads without suffixes will be realized.
this app is a download manager that can takeover default downloads from browser and does not capture links that are not directly downloaded by browser for example: Mega does not download its content using browser's download manager. instead it download its content itself (probably using javascript) then gives it to the browser for saving. If I want to handle this I have to implement the logic for all websites that do such a thing and also track their changes. separately!

Dear @amir1376 , AB Download Manager is a great application, since I recommended it to my friends around me, they all fell in love with it and think that it has a lot of potential to grow and is the best open source application to replace IDM! I'm going to make a few small suggestions here that I hope you'll consider: ABDM's native UI is too small to work perfectly on large screens, I hope it can be adapted to HD resolution; secondly, the font display is not obvious in dark color mode, I hope it can be improved to improve the font size and color, and maybe a separate option can be added to set the interface font. The newly added file editing function of ABDM is very good, and I hope that the viewing items of the downloaded web pages can be transferred from the secondary settings menu to the main interface of the editing window. Considering the excellent data storage method of ABDM, it is possible to add a note function, and to add relevant display parameters in the display column of the main interface. The search function is too simple, it is suggested to add some simple search syntax, such as [create time], input “ct:” to search by specified time; [filename], input “fn:” to search only the name of the file;[comment], input “cm:” to search file comment. Some users have suggested to close the file download window automatically, but you didn't seem to take it into account, maybe because didn't explain it clearly? I would like to it here and explain in detail the reason for adding this feature. The separate file download window is usually used to check the thread usage or the download log during the download, after the download is finished, these functions are not needed, so the separate download window should be closed automatically after the download is finished, instead of occupying the taskbar or the desktop all the time, the automatic closing of this window can reduce a lot of unnecessary processes. Or you can add a silent download option to hide the separate download window after the download starts. Also when using ABDM, I found that its takeover seems to be realized by the suffix, it can't take over the download link without suffix, in some net disk such as: mega or in some forums download the file, ABDM can't take over, similar download URL such as: [https://www.sordum.org/downloads/?st-desktop.ini-editor] and [job.php?action=download&aid=4525632] won't be taken over, even if copied to the application, the download will only download as an html webpage or a file like job.php, not the correct file. I didn't find the option to take over the download links without suffixes in the browser extension, I hope in the next updates, the option will be added or the function to take over the downloads without suffixes will be realized. Congrats on your great and excellent work to help many users who need it! Let us applaud you!
