Installing for multiple users under multiseat
I'm working on multiseat deployment using aster multiseat.
details : **External links are only visible to Support Staff**www.ibik.ru Basically each seat has its own username and thus appdata folder And i want all users to be able to use Jd separately Now what i want to achieve is, each user must store download under their own appdata, but app files must stay in sync under 1 folder, because jdownloader updates very frequently. It's complicated since Jdownloader doesn't allow install for all users. Is there anyway to sync the app files using symlink while having different config (just for download locations) ? Which file should i be looking for this purpose? thanks |

I'm sorry but JDownloader doesn't support multiseat installations. Each user requires his own installation. But of course you can try. settings/lists are stored in cfg folder, so this must be bound to each user
Rest you can try to share/symlink. On an unix system this won't work because user a updating JDownloader will result in files owned by a and b no longer can access those files.

So it's pointless even if i symlink'ed all of them? e.g Once it's updated by admin it won't be usable by user a and b any other workaround? |

Files created by admin/user xy won't be accessable/readable by user z
That's why a JDownloader installation does not support multiple users You could move all users to the same group, then it should work

Please consider this in the future, IIRC IDM can also be installed for all users.. |

Not that easy because of ownership/permission issues. There are no plans at the moment to provide support for that.

our users don't typically need it application and configs separated. It's really only required for people who want to use the program commercially.

IDM separates each user's download based on my documents location, is there anyway to set the download path to %My Documents% or C:\Users\%user%\Downloads? I tested it but jd wont accept it.. Can i request this for a feature? Make Jdownloader accept relative my documents path.. Last edited by denywinarto; 25.08.2017 at 10:15. |

JDownloader is multiple licence project. But I guess you should pass it to your legal team to make sure, as I'm not giving you legal advice.
in respects to download path. JD will work with relative path, think it has to be within the install directory though. You might be able to go lower by using series of '../' for instance I don't believe we do support operating specific wildcards. So no environment based setters $home or %user%. To say yes or no on the request, I'll leave that decision up to Appwork as it they will be the ones making support, and most likely be stored within Appwork Project. raztoki

googled a bit and there are posts mentioning to put /downloaded as relative path download. I tried it but it doesn't work. Ok i will post in on feature subforums. |

Any folder within the JDownloader folder itself will work relative. That means JDownloader will update the folder location automatically. This is useful for usb drives or multi os usage.

You have to specify full path. JDownloader does not evaluate environment variables
