program works nicely and quickly + download prompt improvement suggestion

[ghost]

hi, your extension was the only one that worked properly with my ariang native client. the 3 other extensions I've tested either didn't work, or had their own aria ng client which I don't need. great program. my only suggestion is that you enhance your download prompt so that it is possible to open an explorer window to select the place you want to download the file. as of now, you have to manually type the path on the download prompt, which works but isn't ideal.

I was once tried to do that, but I don't know how to coding. I've also tried

<input  type="file" webkitdirectory>

But it prompts "Upload all files in seleted directory? Upload/Cancel"

If you can provide any extension that can select directory without any prompt, please let me know

by the way, it is possible to use the extension stand-alone, without the use of AriaNG or any other client, which is what makes this extension so powerful. as long as you have aria2c.exe running, and a properly configured .conf, this extension can do all the work, with a fraction of the size and memory consumption of a program like AriaNG (it uses ~150MB of RAM on idle).

You can do this instead of typing it: when you download a file, before the extension comes with its own prompt, there is an explorer prompt, in which you can select the download path as if the browser was going to download it. When that happens, simply copy the path as text with a right-click, and then paste it on the extension prompt that follows. Provided you don't forget to copy the path when the explorer window appears, it is a quick, effortless method.

This extension is rewritten from https://github.com/robbielj/chrome-aria2-integration

There are no smooth animations for UI, also bad coded for Manifest V3, it is only a simple and easy to use one so it won't consume many computer resources

I mean that I've once tried to make a selector for Download Folder, but it doesn't work as expected, I've see many other userscripts or extensions that also uses <input type="text"> for folder entries

And this is what makes it so great. Smooth animations aren't necessary. Its small size and performant nature are strengths, not weaknesses. It isn't a chrome extension, so support for Manifest V3 isn't needed - firefox is much better anyway.

I know, I'm just saying that there is a way to quickly input the file path so that making an explorer window isn't a priority for now.

If you're using Firefox, you can try Follow Browser Behavior in Options, which needs to turn off Capture Web Request to work.

But Capture Browser Downloads without Capture Web Request is somehow a crack in Firefox because of its behavior

I couldnt find any of the options you mentioned

Oops, that's broken by 4.2.4.1965, and has been fixed in https://github.com/jc3213/download_with_aria2/commit/51856de05d1c0f36f06413ccfd9031a83dc62c89

[ghost]

Follow Browser Behavior allows you to set the download directory as if you were downloading with the browser, great, thank you
