Default Downloading files in same path without creating folders for every of them

What title says, i want jdownloader to not create folder for every file it downloads. it can download whole files in same folder without creating sub-folders right?

who checked my thread as solved without my permission? it is not solved!

also that captcha is so annoying, solving that takes at least a minute! stupid captcha is try to teach me what traffic light is and still not accept my answer!

anyway

the link you gave is showing exact opposite way. it says how to create sub-folders, i dont want sub-folders. i want whole files in same folder without creating bazilion of subfolders.



my folder path is already default like "c:\mydownloads"
but still this program creates subfolders in that folder.

Right click a package name. Properties - Set download directory. Make sure "Subfolder by package" is NOT selected.

For packages already in your download list or in linkgrabber, yes, you will have to change it. Though you can do that by highlighting everything then right click and select Properties. That'll change everything if you clear the checkbox.

For getting that to happen automatically, I have to ask,

How are you adding files?

When you add files manually in the linkgrabber tab, it should ask where you want the file saved. If it says something like C:\Downloads\<jd:packagename> you need to remove that last part and click save. Any subsequent files you add will pick up that change.

With the clipboard monitor, U think if you do the above it will work, but I haven't been able to prove it since mine doesn't set subfolders by default.

you either do it via package customiser rule. OR via the default download path. The support link shows you both ways.

if you add links via the addlinks dialog you can bypass package customiser rules or have your own paths via the checkbox, else default package customiser rules will be applied.

by default package customiser is enabled hence the response, and is the answer for majority that have this issue. Otherwise via default path setting of your own accord.

and

paths at the time of entry into linkgrabber, all existing links carry the path!

if you add mega links and you have default rule: 'adopt directory structure' could play influence for folder links. This sets recursive directory structure (nested directories). Very few plugins support this feature, mega is one of few.

well, i don't use jdownloader for mega files it was just an example, this problem is not special for mega it happens with every cloud companies. again this program simply creates a folder and rename it with file name and after finishing parts of rar files, it extract files in that folder. it seems this very basic feature doesnt exist in your program but i am not complaining since jdownloader is just a freeware.

anyway thanks for your answers and i hope you will add this very simple feature in future versions.

Well its a feature of the program and its is configurable. Im not sure whats happening with your setup though. Maybe best to ask Jiaz at Appwork via https://support.jdownloader.org/ or email support@jdownloader.org (same ticket system) and ask for a teamviewer session. Also reference this thread in your communication.

If you are experiencing this issue only with archive files, check the "Archive Extractor" setting. It has an option to create sub-folders, and by default it will use archive name variable (%ARCHIVENAME%) to create it. You can configure it create the sub-folders based on the number of file/folders present in the archive, or disable it entirely if you don't require that option.

first of all i havent changed any setting so they are all probably set to default. but i checked there anyware here;



btw, i just downloaded a file from youtube and this worked well. program didn't create extra subfolder in download folder so it seems this problem occurs with sites like uploaded, zippyshare etc.

and sorry for misreporting about the part files because that problem happens with single files too (unzipped files)

1. Go to Settings
2. On the left, select Packagizer
3. Find 'Predefined Rule: Create Subfolder by Packagename' and uncheck it.
(Of course under Settings->General 'Group single files in 'various package' has to be enabled.

Did it work for you? (for me it does)

@seriousgigi
if the archive was created by the publisher with a directory first it would still be present with your current settings, as I understand it.
