Hi,

Unfortunately, I accidentally added all queued links to download, and there's no way back :-(

So, first a feature request.

It would be great to have an option to control whether a confirmation should be displayed when attempts to start downloading everything from the Link Grabber tab.

Second, just requesting some information.

Where can I find the current download queue?
I'd like to write a small script to pars it and generate links that can be copied, so I'll have a more or less automated process to regenerate my link grabber links.

Thanks in advance,
M

* no easy/official way.
There are EventScripter scripts which can "put links from downloadlist back to linkgrabber".
You will need to search in our forums to find them though.

Also you could check your backups and re-add a backup of your old linkgrabberlist, see:
https://support.jdownloader.org/de/k...nkgrabber-list
--> That depends on your settings and how long ago the event "move linkgrabber items to downloadlist" happened.

So you would like to have a confirmation dialog when moving items from linkgrabber to downloadlist or you do not want them to start downloading immediately?
You can disable the "autostart downloading of added links" in the linkgrabber quick settings, see:

Please rephrase.
Technically, all enabled and not yet downloaded links in your downloadlist are part of the "download queue".

Doing CTRL + C on a link should already give you what you need, see:

EDIT

Looks like the requests you have in this thread are a duplicate of this old thread of yours:

Hi,

* no easy/official way.

Yeah, I already asked for something like this before (about 10 years ago), as you noted at the end of your reply :-)

I guess the models describing links are more or less the same for both queues, so moving between them shouldn't be too hard, the rest should be taken care of the underlying MVC architecture.

The easiest way would be adding a functionality to move selected links back to link grabber, preferably preserving attributes like date added, etc., which is not preserved by copy/paste.

So you would like to have a confirmation dialog when moving items from linkgrabber to downloadlist or you do not want them to start downloading immediately?

I'd say there should be a few options for this kind of functionality:
- enable confirmation
- a threshold for package count for confirmation (e.g. if threshold > 100 the confirmation dialog should pop up)

Please rephrase.
Technically, all enabled and not yet downloaded links in your download list are part of the "download queue".

There must be an external file for persistent storage, to keep queues intact between application sessions. But it's kind of irrelevant, because my method wouldn't be able to preserve old add date, for example.

Thanks,
M

There is, see previous response, see https://support.jdownloader.org/de/k...nkgrabber-list
this method should preserve as many attributes as possible. if there are some missing, please let me know and I will check/try to fix it

I think such a confirmation dialog is no longer needed once you can always *move back* links from download list to linkgrabber list, don't you agree? Issue with threshold...too high and won't *rescue* you in case you have few links. too low and it will get annoying very fast.

I agree ! Maybe pspzockerscene will find fun in working on this as he lately started coding actions that work on list/controller

Hi Jiaz,

I'll bookmark this one for future references.
The latest available backup was a bit dated, but it helped with the majority of the links.

Thanks,
M

I agree, it would be a better solution.

You can also import download list back into linkcollector that way. when importing download list,JDownloader asks if import to download list or linkcollector list. Just in case that was not clear enough. That way you can *move back* the items and just have to delete the not wanted ones

[pspzockerscene]

I got some ideas on my mind but I will not provide any ETA and my idea does not include 'moving back stuff from downloadlist to linkgrabber'.

If you need that functionality, I highly recommend to:

• Frequently create backups of your linkgrabberlist using external backup-tools. You can then simply re-add that .zip file to your linkgrabber.
• Use an EventScripter script that helps with this. I remember that someone coded something in this direction but I was unable to find it so either search it yourself or ask here: https://support.jdownloader.org/Know...event-scripter

@Maelcum
Next CORE-update will contain an optional (disabled by default) linkgrabber "move items to downloadlist confirmation dialog".
I've added a preview-description of the upcoming feature here, including screenshots.
I will let you know here once the update with that feature gets released.

Said update has just been released.
