DirectDownload cannot correctly handle different directory.

[maple3142]

My default download folder in my PC is dir=C:/Users/Administrator/Downloads, but I usually use another download to start some download, which set the destination to C:/Users/Administrator/Downloads/dmhy.
And I have a nginx server on my pc, http://IP_OF_MYPC/Downloads/ points to C:/Users/Administrator/Downloads so that normal download can be correctly handled.
However, it doesn't work fine with files in C:/Users/Administrator/Downloads/dmhy.

What do you mean by doesn't work? Does it spit out any error? Check the logs.

[maple3142]

I have a file in Downloads/dmhy , and the path of DirectDownload is set to http://IP_OF_MYPC/Downloads.
When it try to download the file, however, the link will be http://IP_OF_MYPC/Downloads/thefile but not http://IP_OF_MYPC/Downloads/dmhy/thefile .

[devgianlu]

How do you set the path for the downloads in dmhy?

[maple3142]

I use other external cli tool to start the download with RPC, and it also select a different download destination.
Having an option to set a reference such as C:/Users/Administrator -> http://IP_OF_MYPC would be good.
Since downloaded files are not always located at default dir.

I can understand why this doesn't work. I'll try to come up with a solution.

@maple3142 Could you send a screenshot of the Info tab of one of these downloads? I'm interested on what Destination directory is.

That should be now fixed. I'll publish a new release soon.

Checkout version 4.2.2.

[maple3142]

Although it could get the correct url in latest version, but aria2app always failed to add any download.
It is possible to call external downloader to do so?

[devgianlu]

Unluckily it is not possible due to the fact that they require additional information to be passed to the client. How does it fail? Gives an error message immediately or fails afterwards?

[maple3142]

Whenever I start to download anything, there's a toast said Failed adding the new download.

[devgianlu]

As a temporary workaround, try stopping the app from the system settings.

[maple3142]

Sorry, I found the reason why it doesn't work it that Aria2App doesn't have storage permission in app's settings page. It works when I enable it.

Besides, how I can copy or download the file through external downloaders?

[devgianlu]

I added an option in the preferences under DirectDownload to send the URL to another app. I'll release a new version soon.
