When i right click on a link in my browser and select "copy shortcut"

JDownloader moves its window ontop my browser and displays this link in the linkgrabber.

I cannot find a setting to disable this behaviour.

I want to copy a number of links from my browser and have them "silently" added to the linkgrabber. When I have selected all the links that I want I manually switch to the JDownloader window and add them to the download queue.

In Advanced Settings
linkgrabberframetotoponnewlinksnenabled , disable this

In case you have Trayicon enabled
Brin mainframe to top ...setup to your needs

Hi

Is there a way I can get JD to stop from taking focus while I'm busy adding links.

Here what I do. On a web, say there are 5 links and I want to download them. I would right click them in Chrome and then click "Copy Link Address", now I would do this for all 5 links, but by the time get to the 3rd one JD pops up and displays the LinkGrabber tab.
Now this is all fine and well, but it takes focus and pops the whole window up over my Chrome browser window, so i would need to click back into Chrome and start right clicking again.
Its annoying and the old 0.9 did not do it.

Cheers

I found this on likgrabberframetotoponnewlinksenabled, my check box was not checked.

Hi,

i've got the same problem, using firefox.

Changing then value of GraphicalUserInterfaceSettings.linkgrabberframetotoponnewlinksenbaled doesn't change the behavior of JD2, either if "true" or "false".

Yip, no change. This thread is not solved for me as it does not fix the problem. I have also not been able to find anything else to change.

Awesome, now it works for me. Did as follows from the other thread and this one.

Set this disabled
Settings > Advanced Settings > GraphicalUserInterfaceSettings.linkgrabberframetotoponnewlinksenabled

AND

Light Tray > Show JDownloader if new Links were grabbed > Only when Mainframe is minimized.

That way it will popup when minimized but not if already showing.

For those Firefox users try using a firefox addon like "Copy Links" It allows you to grab mulitple links behind text at one time so you dont have to grab each link separately.

Is there something similiar in Chrome?

[Topken]

I dont know those of you using Chrome can take a look and see.

I have JD 2 running and downloading files.

I have disabled linkgrabberframetotoponnewlinksenabled

I copy some text that I want to paste into notepad

JD 2 is stealing focus and moves to the top even when the clipboard contents is not a url.

When the above setting is disabled JD should never move to top what ever is copied to the clipboard.

So you say that you disabled, where you did? in advanced options?because light tray appears that option available to choose from a list, not to enable or disable ... the option to say "Bring to front the main window to add new links, I have selected in: neverand works well, plus I have disabled the linkgrabber ...

[raztoki]

seems to be the original author your current question, I have merged all common threads into this one. See my first reply it indicates the BOTH settings you need to define in order to disable this behaviour. Please search forum before making posts about the same thing. Thankyou

[coalado]

Soo... let's start to fix this.



There are 2 options to change this focus behaviour one in the advanced settings GraphicalUserInterfaceSettings.linkgrabberframetotoponnewlinksenabled and one in the Tray Settings.... That's bad. I will change this to have one option

[coalado]

PLease use AdvancedConfig -> getWindowFocusActionWhenNewLinksAreAdded in the next update..

There are several options on what happens when new links were added:

• NOTHING -->Taskbar Icon flashing only
• REQUEST_FOCUS_IF_MAXIMIZED --> popup linkgrabber if frame is maximized - else taskbar flashing
• REQUEST_FOCUS_IF_MAXIMIZED_OR_ICONIFIED --> popup linkgrabber if frame is not in tray - else taskbar flashing
• ALWAYS_REQUEST_FOCUS --> popup linkgrabber always

To avoid the Taskbar flashing, use AdvancedConfig->TaskBarFlashEnabled

• REQUEST_FOCUS_IF_MAXIMIZED_OR_ICONIFIED --> popup linkgrabber if frame is not in tray - else taskbar flashing
• ALWAYS_REQUEST_FOCUS --> popup linkgrabber always

After update I found the following settings, filtering for "focus" :

GraphicalUserInterfaceSettings.focustriggerforcaptchadialogs
-Action that will be performed when the Linkgrabber adds new links.

NEVER
MAINFRAME_IS_MAXIMIZED
MAINFRAME_IS_MAXIMIZED_OR_ICONIFIED
MAINFRAME_IS_MAXIMIZED_OR_ICONIFIED_OR_TOTRAY

GraphicalUserInterfaceSettings.windowsrequestfocusonactivationenabled
-Set to true if you want JDownloader to steal focus when the window pops up

I set NEVER and disabled for the above settings, disabled again the Tray Icon, but when I copy a link, JD2 steals focus and shows Linkgrabber with the link.

What is the proper setting ?
In previous versions I had no problems with focus.

Another question: what is the relation between "focustriggerforcaptchadialogs" in the setting name and "Linkgrabber adds new links" in description ?

[bici-boci]

The Jun 10 version
in every 200 sec tries to steal focus. JD2 is in background, there is no visible activity, downloadlist and linkgrabber is empty.
The old, not updated version in other folder woks without this problem. as before.

Edit:

"Tray Icon" is disabled.

[coalado]

graphicaluserinterfacesettings.focustriggerforcaptchadialogs
graphicaluserinterfacesettings.mainframepopuptriggerwhennewlinkswereadded

have these options now:

• Never,
• mainframe_is_maximized,
• mainframe_is_maximized_or_iconified,
• mainframe_is_maximized_or_iconified_or_totray

graphicaluserinterfacesettings.mainframepopuptriggerwhennewlinkswereadded
you can define when the mainframe should appear based on the current mainframe window state.

If you want the mainframe not only to appear on top, but also steal the focus - enable the graphicaluserinterfacesettings.windowsrequestfocusonactivationenabled flag


graphicaluserinterfacesettings.focustriggerforcaptchadialogs
you can define when the captcha dialog should steal focus - based on the current windowstate of the mainframe.

This is tested on a windows 7 64 bit machine with a jdk1.7 the whole behaviour might be different on a different setup..please test and give feedback.




Default:


Default Values are on mainframe_is_maximized. maximized is a bit missleading. it means "everything but iconified or invisile".

So the default behaviour is: If JDownloader is minimized to tray or to taskbar, the window will not appear if new links were added. In case of a Captcha Dialog, the dialog will appear on top, but it will NOT get the focus.

IF JDownloader is not minimized, Captcha Dialogs will appear and get the focus. If new links were added, the Linkgrabber will appear on top, but it will not get the focus.



This whole window and fopcus management is complicated, and works a bit different on every system. So please test. Ask here what you want, and I'll tell you the correct settings.

Exactly 200 Seconds? are you sure?
Can you start JD2 in the console with java -jar JDownloader.jar -console an d check if there are any log outputs on the console - related to this event?

[bici-boci]

Using XP SP3 Java 1.7.0-21

my settings:

GraphicalUserInterfaceSettings.mainframepopuptriggerwhennewlinkswereadded
MAINFRAME_IS_MAXIMIZED

GraphicalUserInterfaceSettings.focustriggerforcaptchadialogs
MAINFRAME_IS_MAXIMIZED

GraphicalUserInterfaceSettings.windowsrequestfocusonactivationenabled
disabled

1st question: what is the "mainframe" here ?

When jd2 is in background:

When I add links, linkgrabber pops up - how can I avoid this ?

Captcha pops up: it's ok

Exactly 3 min 20 sec, I measured more than 10 times with stopwatch.

No change on console, when button color changes.

Previously there is two intersting lines, probably when I put jd2 in background:
sun.awt.TimedWindowEvent[WINDOW_LOST_FOCUS,opposite=null,oldState=0,newState=0] on MAINFRAME
java.awt.event.WindowEvent[WINDOW_DEACTIVATED,opposite=null,oldState=0,newState=0] on MAINFRAME

Edit:
Sorry, I always rounded down from 3:24-3:27 .

[coalado]

It pops up, but it should NOT steal the focus.


Mainframe is the JDownloader Window.
GraphicalUserInterfaceSettings.mainframepopuptriggerwhennewlinkswereadded=
MAINFRAME_IS_MAXIMIZED means, that JDownloader pops up if it is not minimized.



So you have these options:

• Minimize JDownloader to Tray or to the Taskbar
• Set GraphicalUserInterfaceSettings.mainframepopuptriggerwhennewlinkswereadded to NEVER

[coalado]

These lines are just debug code. I will remove them in time.

I'll try to reproduce the problem

[bici-boci]

You are true, doesn't get focus (in windows) , but nearly fills the screen

OK, setting
GraphicalUserInterfaceSettings.mainframepopuptriggerwhennewlinkswereadded to NEVER,

JD2 doesn't pops up when a link is added to linkgrabber.

I've set
GraphicalUserInterfaceSettings.focustriggerforcaptchadialogs
to
MAINFRAME_IS_MAXIMIZED_OR_ICONIFIED_OR_TOTRAY .
to always get captcha.

Hope it will work as with the previous versions.

Thanks

Their are three main states in windows os
a) maximise, not restored, not minimised; taking up the entire monitor
b) restore, not maximised, not minimised; but sizeable by the user. Useful if you divide up you monitor into different sections for multiple apps at the same time.
c) minimise, not restored and not maximised; not displayed! Either in the traditional sense not displayed but still contains entry within taskbar. OR many applications like JD (with light tray) offer the option to minimise to tray icon and remove taskbar entry.

working off maximised doesn't work well, as it doesn't support all the differing states, and even substate (tray).

[bici-boci]

Thanks raztoki,
According to these points, I think I use state B:
no program is minimized/maximized, everything is "displayed", the windows are partially or wholly visible or not visible.

[Lram32]

I have a question. How I can interact between the windows?
I have JD2 maximized, but when I do click in others opened windows I can't change to see that windows. I tryed several settings but I can't get it.

Also, if i have JD2 minimized to taskbar after ~3.23 minutes, JD2 is highlight and there is not activity in JD2. Tested in win Xp, Java 1.7

Thanks,

I had one time a similar case with the new version - JD2 was always on top, (it was not maximized), but it was only one time.

It is similar to my case (XP, Java 1.7 too), see
http://board.jdownloader.org/showpos...8&postcount=20

Maybe this time is the XP ForegroundLockTimeout registry setting,
default value 200000 msec, 200 sec , 3:20 min
in
registry at HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop,
to prevent programs from stealing focus.

Absolutely the same for me on Win7x64.

[raztoki]

I'm having problems with it also with default settings. It steals focus and doesn't even let go after selecting the application and then going to another via taskbar or alt tab.. it's aways on top. I have to minimise the application to continue along my merry way.

win7 64bit
jdk 1.7.0_21 64bit

[pspzockerscene]

Same here.

Ticket:

[raztoki]

Coalado had not time to teamview with me today =[ owell always tomorrow (as they say)

[coalado]

I commited a "fix" 5 minutes ago. If this always on top problems occur again after updating, please give feedback.

[bici-boci]

It works fine now.

Yesterday I updated jD to the latest release. Its main window is now always on top. If I switch to Safari, I don’t see the windows that were behind the main window and it looses focus. I need to hide jD just to be able to use any other apps!

This is on 10.6. Behavior on 10.8 seems to be fine so this isn’t an issue there.

I guess I found the problem - and fixed it. please give it a try

After the second update today JD2 continues to work well for me, see my previous post in the morning, after the first update.
(No timeout after 3:20 min, no problem with window change).
