Built in Select URL(s)/Links Filter dialog?

Post by Zelphar »

When I have FlashGot's Download Manager option set to (Browser Built In), and I use FlashGot Selection or FlashGot All, I get the following links filter dialog: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/19234057/filterdialog.png

According to question 6.2 of the FAQ, this links filter dialog belongs to the download manager. Is that to say that the dialog I am seeing is part of Firefox? If so, is there a way to trigger it without using FlashGot?

Normally, I have FlashGot set to use wget as the Download Manager. Is there a way to force this links filter dialog to be used with wget?

I sometimes find the links filter dialog useful, but usually want to download via wget; I would like to avoid having to switch the Download Manager option between wget and (Browser Built In), depending on whether I want the links filter dialog or not. Thanks. :)

That FAQ is outdated.
This dialog belongs to FlashGot and was recently introduced to overcome the complexity of multi-link downloads with download managers (such as the built-in, or JDownloader, or wget/cURL) which don't provide their own.

It should work with wget by default. If it doesn't, it's a bug: please report and we'll investigate.
