FDM Safari Extension

Postby fikretsengul » Sun May 01, 2016 11:16 pm

This FDM Safari extension does not work. It doesn't catch download links. When I try the another way like try to install with clicking 'FDM appears in browsers context menu if extension installed and enabled button.' it says 'An error occurred while installing this extension'. There is someting wrong. You should check safari extension. Additionally, i need it immediately.

Thanks.

Have you read the description? "This extension adds context menu for different links to pass downloads to FDM". That's it. We have critical problems with "catching" the links. Safari doesn't have such advanced API as Chrome/Firefox/IE have. Downloads interception is actually implemented but not released, here's why: in some cases it can lead to random freezing (the whole Safari window can freeze!) and other bugs, pretty much related to Safari inner architecture rather than to our code.

There's a version conflict there, that's why the "gallery version" hasn't appeared in our release notes yet. We're waiting for Apple's approve for an updated version. The initial release took 2 weeks to be approved, we'll see how much it will take this time...

If you need to fix it now, you can remove the installed extension from Safari > Preferences > Extensions, quit Safari (important!) and then re-add the extension from gallery or FDM preferences, doesn't matter. It will only add the context menu items. Please tell us if something goes wrong.
