[Feature request] Load downloads from text file (or XML, etc.)

Open Grossdm opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

I have been using TDM recently, but it has required much copy/paste of URLs and filenames. Of course there is the switching back and forth between windows.

I hope I haven't overlooked an existing option...

Thanks for TDM!

Why dont you use the right click context menu to send downloads to TDM?

Thank you for your response!

That's a very reasonable option with the browser plugin(s), but I have been working with URLs that are plain text. To clarify, I was using a scraper to collect the links and the only method I found (disclaimer: I'm not a developer) was to manipulate text that included the links/URLs.

I could have easily created a file containing all the links that I wanted TDM to conquer, if there were a method to import links. Perhaps there is, but I have not found it.

Just a couple ideas come to mind that would help me to use TDM:

  1. The import of links in a file that I just described above.

  2. Keyboard shortcuts to facilitate adding a job to TDM. In fact, simply allowing ctrl+plus to add a job instead of requiring back and forth to the mouse to click the (rather large) plus sign/add job button would be a nice touch.

Again, thanks for reading my input/feedback and also for creating a helpful tool: TDM!
