What's new in Web Downloader 1.2.1.0

Oct 6, 2014
  • the "drop box" now works fine on older OS's too, and not only on Win7. Although the drop box was created to easier work with the stronger security layer from newer OS's and IE, I understand it can also be useful for everyone, as instead of a larger window on the desktop they only have a small "drop box".
  • Regarding updates, they can now be checked from inside the program itself too - check the 'Help' menu and you'll find a new item there that'll connect to my webpage and see if there is - or not - a new version available for download
  • Another thing that was not working - due to changes made by Microsoft from IE 9 onwards, and now definitive on later browsers, was the 'browser context menu', so it's code has been remade from scratch and now it works - at least on my system and the ones I tested it on it dies
  • And then a few bugs on the menus were corrected and some minor issues re-done.

New in Web Downloader 1.2.0.6 (Aug 18, 2014)

  • The program now gets the real 'User Agent' from IE to send on download requests, mimicking the real IE from user's computer. Thre were some bugs relating to the new 'drop box' that were - hopefuly - solved. A few items were missing from the main menu but were showing on all the diverse popup menus, so now the main menu agregates everything in it, at last...
  • Also, the 'drop box' hides on showing the diverse dialogs from main window, instead of staying there, partialy hiding the dialogs ... The 'preferences' dialog has been improved, creating groups and rearranging the imense list of options, for ease of use - long time due already!
  • All dialogs positions on the screen are now saved between uses - but only if the option 'save windows position and size' is selected in 'options', of course. And, as with all other freeware, a new design 'about' dialog has been created.
