Catch all downloads #34

Closed DanaMW closed 7 years ago

DanaMW commented 7 years ago

I would like to know if there is a way to catch all downloads. I have the issue where the zip file was below the catch size and now zip is entered in the applications of fire fox. From then on firefox downloads zips and i have to delete the handlers file . I have zip in the always download and size set to 1 but it still allows the files to go the firefox. So I would like simply to catch ALL downloads in uget. Possible?

slgobinath commented 7 years ago

If the file is streamed by the server, setting file size to 1 may not work. Try a negative filesize like -100 and let me know whether it works or not.

However, please note that some strams cannot be successfully downloaded by uGet. Further Google documents are purposefully ignored for a known issue.

ok I use firefox mostly but have it installed in both. I will let you know.

I forgot to ask. Can * be used for the always catch filename?

Nope. Regex is not supported yet.

I didn't mean Google Chrome but anything from Google drive. The extension does not interrupt any Google drive/Google document files regardless of the browser.

once zip ends up in handlers.json then uget doesn't catch it any more so my bet is to just keep them all out by catching them before they get there

DanaMW commented 7 years ago

Ok it resets itself to 0 for a size if the number is a negative number. And on fire fox it has become almost useless the browser is doing all the downloading. Once it downloads a known (to the browser) file type it adds it to the handlers.json and from that point on that file type is no longer passed to uget. Can you add uget as a known handler for all file types? if I had that option on the menu i could at least select it and make t permanent when asked what I want to do with the file. The browser seems to be winning this war. I'm down to using the clipboard to pass files to uget. it is one way that has worked flawless for me.

Oh and you are using the type of storage in firefox that gets wiped out when the browser is cleaned. (Settings lost) It is my understanding you can use storage.local to prevent that.

slgobinath commented 7 years ago

Thanks for the suggestion. I will move to storage.local in the next version.

Fixed with https://github.com/slgobinath/uget-chrome-wrapper/commit/0b262805eaa540417440959483aef8f8ec391d83

Thank you

slgobinath commented 7 years ago

Let's continue the chat here :-) Now the minimum file size can be set to -1 and I hope that should catch all the downloads. I will test it further and update you and leave this issue open until I confirm it.

DanaMW commented 7 years ago

And thank you, For at least looking into it

DanaMW commented 7 years ago

ok perfect!

DanaMW commented 7 years ago

Thank you for your work and changes!

slgobinath commented 7 years ago

Hi, Now you can set -1 to the minimum file size and which should interrupt all the possible downloads. If your requirement is satisfied, please close this issue.

Thanks
