Multiple download modifications

Postby nolan_vode » Thu Apr 25, 2013 10:57 pm

When you go to a place like You Tube and select "download video with free download manager", you commonly get the option to download multiple files ranging in size from big to small.

FDM is always my favorite option, but as a backup I have Videodownload manager and Flashgot with FDM as my default d/l manager.

Videodownload manager captures every file available, including WebM and 3GP, and shows the resolution, etc., but FDM only shows file size.

I can navigate thru the Videodownload manager submenus to narrow down a file and then use the "Flashgot" option (4th submenu) to have FDM download it, but it would sure be nice to cut out all the middle men and have FDM do it all itself.

Additionally, with FDM, there could literally be dozens of files available with their boxes automatically checked for download. If you just want to d/l just one size version of the file, which I would think is the commonly the case for most people, you have to scroll down the list and uncheck them one by one. What a pain.

My suggestions for this would be to:

1) Have all these download boxes "unchecked" by default, instead of checked

or

2) Insert a "check all/uncheck all" box above the downloadable file boxes, just like you would have for an email list.

thanks
