FlashGot Selection Function and Internet Download Manager

Post by Gnug »

I have used FlashGot for a few years. It has worked well and I appreciate it. I use it in Thunderbird 3.1.2 and Firefox 3.6.8. I was using FlashGot 1.2.1.29 but as you suggested, I upgraded to 1.2.1.30rc2 to try to resolve my problem. 1.2.1.30rc2 did not improve my situation. I primarily use FlashGot with Internet Download Manager. My computer is a new home built, running Windows 7. I upgraded Internet Download Manager to Version 6.01 Beta Build 5 because of the problem with Google Chrome displaying the HTML code for a page instead of the page itself for some sites. Since then I have problems with getting the link from Thunderbird through FlashGot into Internet Download Manager. Currently If I drag a link to IDM's Drop Target, the link is passed, resolved and is put into the Queue I selected. However, if I select a list of links in Thunderbird and use the FlashGot Selection function, everything shows that every link resolves properly and and will be put into the Queue that I selected. When I check that Queue, the links are not there, nor are they any where else in IDM. If I try to redo the links a second time, I'm told that they already exist by the fact that the link is indexed by "_2". Any help will be appreciated, it is a nuisance dragging a list of links one of a time.

This looks like an IDM bug.
Do the analogous "Download all with IDM" context menu item work in Internet Explorer?

It works in FireFox, I don't know about IE, I don't use IE. You just gave me a thought. I have an extension for Internet Download Manager for Firefox but none for Thunderbird. I will ask for an extension for Thunderbird from Internet Download Manager. I realize that the changes in IDM caused the problem, but their changes were caused by Google Chrome and everything must work together.
Thanks

The changes made in 1.2.30rc3 seems to have solved my problem. Thank you for your efforts.
