Hello,

i'm writing a script to download a lot of files in one time but I need to sort the files each time I launch my script.

My script is in PHP but I can use a system call.
I already saw that we can use JDownloder in command line with some command like JDonloder -add <link>...

But I didn't find how choose the directory for the new files.

I need to do something like this:
>JDownloader -downloadDirectory = "c:\newPath"
>JDownloader -add <link>
>JDownloader -add <link>
>...
>JDownloader -downloadDirectory = "c:\oldPath"

or maybe:
>JDownloader -add <link> -path newPath
>...

thank you for your answer.

As far as I know you can't set the download directory with the command nor the remote control interface.

However, in the test version of jD there is a command "/set/downloaddir/general/%X%" in the remote control interface.

If you don't want to use the test version for downloading, you can always switch back to the stable version.

In command line calling "jdownloader" is equivalent to: "java -Xmx512m -jar jdownloader.jar" (jdownloader.exe is wrapper for calling JVM with predefined parameters).
So in command line you need to build BAT/CMD file which parse the parameters and then calls specific commands or call directly JVM with available parameters.
All available parameters for command line jD:
java -jar jdownloader.jar --help

th command java -jar jdownloader.jar --help give me the folowing but I don't see how change the download directory for the specified link.

Right now you can't do that using command line.
As remi said - you may change download directory using Nightly's Remote Control plugin.

OK I will try that thank's guys
