Was it not possible to talk to the mozdev admins to take over the abandoned project instead of forking a new project?

Hi, I'm trying to install Downloadwith plus but Firefox 1.04 shows "open with" window. I don´t understand why because I can install any .xpi files like flashgot or bookmark backup.
Thanks in advance.

Save the .xpi to your desktop.

Open the Firefox extentions window, and then drag the .xpi file from the desktop onto the open extentions window.

This should allow you to install it.

I've only been able to make minor modifications to the xpi so far, and I'm still tearing through it to completely understand its coding and to make more updates.

Thank you Geuis,Downloadwith plus now is installed.

But I have the same problem that I have with Downloadwith "classic", if I send a download to DAP(DAP Main Module 7.4.0.1) being DAP not started, DAP doesn´t catch the link and also it gets blocked.

I only can close DAP from the system tray, there's nothing else that allows me to do.

If DAP is started at the time I send a link from Downloadwith plus everything is OK.

Thanks in advance again.

Go to Extentions. Click on DownloadwithPlus, then Options.
Click "Create new application". Choose DAP from the list, then OK. If you want DAP to be the only download option, delete all other listed applications.
Lemme know if you still have a problem.

I did what you told me, but I still have the same problem.

My Windows XP is Spanish version and I have DAP installed in c:\Archivos de Programa\Dap not c:\program files\Dap,I guess it doesn´t matter the path where DAP is installed(if you browse the right path of course, like I did).

Download the latest version of DAP and reinstall it. Make sure you uninstall through add/remove programs before installing the newer version. If this doesn't work, it sounds like Firefox isn't making the association between the file type and the associated application, being DAP. Reinstall Firefox, then DAP, then downloadwithplus.

wow! a response .. thanks Geuis!

here's the comments i had for the moribund predecessor:
I find these settings are better for use with Cygwin's wget:

Label: cygwin wget
Command: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe
Arguments: -c "/usr/bin/wget -P $HOME -t 5 --limit-rate=40k [URL] && /usr/bin/echo 'press any key to close window...' && read -n 1"

Reasons for making the changes:
1. isn't C:\cygwin the default Cygwin install location?
2. a directory for -P is needed, but perhaps the user's Cygwin home directory
is more appropriate? ( note that if -P isn't used at all, all wget files
end up in C:\Program Files\Common Files\mozilla.org\GRE\ )
3. changed from unlimited retries "-t 0" to 5 retries ( be nice to servers )
4. added rate limiting ( be nice to bandwidth )
5. added parameter to bash built-in 'read' so it actually completes after
reading one char - otherwise, it just sits there until you type [Enter].

I have one question:

What controls where in the context menu DownloadWith appears?

I'd very much prefer to have it appear in the next command group
above - the group where "Save Link Target As.." and "Copy Link Location"
appears.

It would be more ... contextual.

thanks for the extension!

I've noted your comments. Honestly, I'm still trying to fully understand how the original extention is put together, so I'm not at a point of making these changes just yet. That's why you'll still see a lot of original text in different areas of the extention.

If DAP is closed, choosing to download with DAP only starts DAP application and not the download. Furthermore the window of DAP cannot be opened anymore (I must close and reopen DAP).

Acouple of features i'd like to see in DW+ :

1) A Firefox toolbar button that can switch between Capture All or No capture at all.

2) An option to switch between Firefox handing the links direct to DW+ or going to the net then giving DW+ the link (as it does now).

I hope you understand what I mean I know I've not desribed it too well...

[20] Submitted by: TickleOnTheTum on Sunday 26th June 2005 at 21:39 -0400

OK...

1) I would like to be able to click on a button on Firefoxes main toolbar and have it disable capturing of links by DW+. Clicking the button again would reactivate capture.

2) When you click on a link to, for example, a zip file on a webpage Firefox validates that the linked file is available before passing the details to the application specified by DW+. While this is fine in many cases it can with some sites result in a long pause after clicking the link before the DW+ specified application recieves the URL. What I would like is if there was an option whereby DW+ could capture the URL as soon as it's clicked on and pass it straight to the application, thus bypassing the validation check.

Hope this is clearer...

No, its not dead. However, since I don't have the original source code I am having to "reverse engineer" this in a way. Also, I just started a new job and am in the process of starting a helpdesk for a company, so my time is limited. I'll get back around to making improvements to this as soon as I can.

If anyone has issues with getting it to work, please feel free to let me know and I'll do what I can.

This is great.

Can you have the option to download all - available when you right click? Selecting this option will take you to your download managers download all function. (Where you can grad all of the downloadable files on a page)

Let me know if you need me to clarify this some more.

Ok, this is a sad announcement of sorts. I personally will not be updating Downloadwith for future versions of Firefox/Mozilla. Despite best intentions to make more improvements to this extention by creating the DownloadwithPlus project, the original developers abandoned it a long time ago, and the best I've been able to do is to make it work with newer versions of Firefox. Now that the entire extention scheme is being redone, I am not going to invest time and effort to port this extention. There are some other really good extentions that are actively developed and work better than this extention. Not many people use this any more anyhow, so here's where the road ends, at least for me.

Hope this extention helped some people, as it did me when I first picked it up.

Good luck.

Well, now nobody can download DownloadWith Plus. Which, if you think about it, is so ironic it's ALMOST funny.

"Not Found
The requested URL /downlloadwithplus010.xpi was not found on this server."

For goodness sake! With respect, what's the point of a program if nobody is able to download or use it? Would somebody PLEASE upload this program to a FREE FILE HOSTING SERVICE? It costs nothing but your time:
