Hi Vity, i like your tool, it helps spare a lot of time.
I would like to thank you for that.
Is there a chance to finish some of your announced version of FRD 1.0?
On the other hand, i am fine with FRD 0.9U4 on Windows 10 64bit. :-)

Good luck!

What's the latest Mac OS this is compatible with?
I try to run this on macOS 11 (Big Sur), with a new install of Java 9. But I just get the error

Fatal error.
This is unexpected error, which can lead to application instability.
An application restart may help.
Please report this error to the authors.

and I can't expand the "details" because it keeps glitching or something.

I got the same error when I was on Java 8.

FRD 0.9u4 runs fine on my other Mac running High Sierra so I am assuming you can't go newer than that OS?

It works fine with JDK 11 as well.

Ok, the beta is cool, glad I have at least that because with openJDK 11 the stable version doesn't work (on linux).
When do you expect to have stable 1.0?

Hi, on opensuse I have preferences stored at
~/.java/.userPrefs/vitysoft
hth

Btw. thanks vity for great app, it is real lifesaver! I'd also like to know, when will be stable 1.0 version. I'm still running 0.9u4, because it just works...

Any news about v1.0 FINAL (a.k.a. non-beta)?

Re: FreeRapid 1.0 beta for early adopters

petrs6 — Sun, 11 Aug 2019 12:11:14 +0000

The settings seem to persist even if I delete both ~/.FRD and program directory.

I've changed the theme and cannot start the app ever since no matter what I do.

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.pushingpixels.substance.internal.utils.SubstanceColorUtilities.getDefaultBackgroundColor(SubstanceColorUtilities.java:758)
...

Do you have a tip where the settings or cache might be stored on Ubuntu?

Thanks,

Petr

@Izibia
1) The "Couldn't create fir ....." is NOT in v1.0beta.
1.1) When FRD (any version) is started a new log file is created after the first error/warning, with additional error/warnings appended.
2) The all versions share the same settings files. The default status for using partial files (*.part) has changed in v1.0beta. Don't use both versions alternately.

It looks as though the new 1.0 Beta version is for Windoze. Is there a MacOS version available?

Thanks.

Excellent! Great!

FreeRapid, since my first day, I've never missed a vehicle. It is a tool that I have installed on my computer after every format. So, it is an indispensable part of my computer.

I've always been waiting for the new versions of Özlem with sadness. "Were program developers completely canceling this project?" I was thinking. I've been waiting a new version for years.

I was very happy when I realized I had a new version.
I'm a professional programmer. I will support all kinds of test programs in the development of this program. I'il explain my ideas for improvement.

You have made me very happy. Thanks!

Note: I'll help the program developer contact me.

2)
which way do you mean?
Do you mean that this individual setting ( "use partial files (*.part)") is not stored in AppData\Roaming\VitySoft\FRD\ ?

3)
indeed, there is no limit.

It was my mistake. Only now I understand how it works:
The list of downloads in the Main Screen may be sorted accordingly to Name,Progress,Completion...Date. By clicking on the appropriate word one can rotate between three statuses: for example: Name in ascending order/ name in descending order/ default order.
Only the default order doesn't have Top/Up/Down/Bottom greyed out and so allows manual changes of the order of items.

1) (edited)
that warning happens with both 0.9u4 and 1.0beta, and only sometimes
It is like I run and stop FRD, then there are one or two warnings in the file. Then I run and stop FRD again, and there is no new warning.

1.1)
a new observation:
While version 0.9u4 appended new content to the app.log file, version 1.0beta rewrites it. Is it intended?

Re: FreeRapid 1.0 beta for early adopters

Vity — Wed, 03 Apr 2019 05:44:01 +0000

1) make sure the FRD has an access to that directory (eg. no antivirus is blocking it)
2) I guess there was a bug related in .part files and I think it was fixed this way
3) there should not be any limit...
4) I will remove it, the bug tracker was buggy. The forum support is better for common users.

Re: FreeRapid 1.0 beta for early adopters

Izibia — Tue, 02 Apr 2019 18:12:54 +0000

Continuation of the previous post:

3)
It looks the limit is 1024 downloads in the list (in the main screen). If there are more downloads, icons top/up/down/bottom are greyed out.

5)
While I can see 963 completed downloads in the list (in the main screen), I see only 959 downloads after View/Show history.
Sorry, I wasn't patient enough to locate the differences.

Re: FreeRapid 1.0 beta for early adopters

Izibia — Mon, 01 Apr 2019 02:30:09 +0000

I noticed these problems (FRD running on Windows 7):

1)
At any frd.exe start, app.log adds a line similar to
Mon Apr 01 00:38:31 CEST 2019 WARNING: Couldn't create fir C:\Users\JJJ\AppData\Roaming\VitySoft\FRD
(this is valid for both 0.9u4 and 1.0beta)

2)
Apparently version 1.0beta shares settings with version 0.9u4 ...
... but although my installed version 0.9u4 had checked "use partial files (*.part)" in Settings, version 1.0beta didn't inherit this setting and has this checkbox cleared.
And if I use both versions alternately, they keep their individual setting ... and this is a surprise for me, I thought all settings were stored in AppData\Roaming\VitySoft\FRD\ ? In fact I banked on it when transferring FRD between computers.

I tested how is the behaviour with a fresh "data profile" AppData\Roaming\VitySoft\FRD\, shared between 0.9u4 and 1.0beta:
by default, 0.9u4 has the checkboc checked, and 1.0beta has it unchecked

3)
Icons top/up/down/bottom are always greyed out in my instance od FRD. This is valid for both 0.9u4 and 1.0beta.

I tried a test: I removed most links from the list, and icons are ungreyed and working.
The instance that didn't work had 1037 downloads in the list.

4)
The bugtracker page (http://bugtracker.wordrider.net/) shows nothing
I guess you know about it, because the bugtracker is not offered at [wordrider.net]
But next resources still point to the bugtracker:
- doc\readme.txt of 1.0beta
- wordrider.net/known-bugs.html

I just updated to this beta version because the current stable version gives a very annoying and reoccurring error called "Call to Steve Jobs" on MacOS 10.13.

Looking forward to the stable version of FRD 1.0.
Thanks!

ZoNi — Thu, 26 Jul 2018 21:19:02 +0000

My display is set to 125% (full HD @ 15") - icons in FRD looks little bit edgy, not that nice.

Can that be fixed?

Vity, yup that was it. I was using nimbus for a long time but the progress colors being similar led me to delete unfinished or waiting items by accident. I went to graphite which is perfect except for that lil issue i mentioned. Going with your recommended now an all is well.
You should move this build on to the main stable downloads page.
Thank you for everything.

My problem has stopped now. Maybe it was just one of those things but whatever it was it is no more. FRD is great. What more can I say..

Re: FreeRapid 1.0 beta for early adopters

Vity — Wed, 07 Mar 2018 14:17:33 +0000

Looks like the maximize -> close -> open - problem is related with selected LookAndFeel. Try to use another one - eg. Substance.

The main form opens (when prev closed maximized), as maximized "full screen." This covers over the task bar. Last version opened with task bar showing underneath.

From what I understand.. he is saying FRD does not opened in a maximized state.. even when it was maximized last time before closing FRD.
I mean it hovers above taskbar and hides it.

I'm yet to try this beta. But I also have similar issue since eternity. I did talk to tong too but he said it works just fine for him thus cannot replicate it.
So I have to manually maximize each time I run it.

@Xcoder: honestly , I don't understand you. I have no problems with that. Screenshots/videos might help.

Re: FreeRapid 1.0 beta for early adopters

xcoder — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 22:57:24 +0000

Please fix or make option in the main form load event.
The main form opens (when prev closed maximized), as maximized "full screen." This covers over the task bar.
Last version opened with task bar showing underneath.
Clicking minimize or opening as minimized resets it so the next maximized click shows as normal (task bar underneath) until you restart app. Then it opens full screen again.
The problem is: when adding the first link it opens the add link dialog with no way to minimize the prog without adding that link even with the "bring app to top is not checked." Also that initial link dialog opening has been a problem on the past one too.
Otherwise all else working well. The new toolbar customize feature is nice.
Thanks

For the last few times I have used the Beta version the download stops and I am asked if I want to overwrite, skip or cancel the download. This is a new one for me. I've been using the beta version for a few months now and so far it is great. Any ideas?

Vity — Mon, 18 Sep 2017 16:33:04 +0000

Hello,
after a minor pause ;-) we are working on the next version of FRD. It brings many improvements and bug fixes include a support of upcoming Java 9. Also a startup time has been tuned and improved.
We hope we collected all main problems you have with using FRD and changed it.

Please let us know about problems you find in comparison with previous version (0.9u4). Thank you.

Here is a full list of changes:

  Changed : Support for Java 9
  Changed : Many improvements for easier plugins coding
  Changed : Load history items from database only/max once per session
  Changed : Year is included in main table and history table tooltip as default
  Changed : Update ObjectDB to version 2.7.1
  Changed : Update Jackson to version 2.8.9
  Added : Editable URLs (optional)
  Added : Check new items against download history (optional)
  Added : Internal option 'fontSize' to be able increase font size on screen with high resolutions
  Added : Upgraded JTattoo library to the latest version LaF + support for Texture Look and Feel
  Added : Toolbar editor
  Added : Proxy per plugin
  Added : Connection settings per download item
  Added : Plugin settings per download item
  Added : Plugin settings is available on popup/context menu
  Added : Queueing download item next to some download item
  Added : Total downloads, file count in History dialog
  Added : Multi word filters in History dialog
  Added : Max concurrent downloads and plugin's max download on overlay panel/popup
  Added : Explicitly save file to history list (for decrypter)
  Added : Support to create child directories for container
  Added : Preferences option to view completed % in progress bar column
  Fixed : Download file renaming
  Fixed : Parentheses () are valid chars in URL path
  Fixed : Redirection for POST request
  Fixed : Download history table sort for file size and avg speed
  Fixed : Search on demand functionality and the flickering
  Fixed : Crypto restrictions removal for Java7 and Java8

  Behavioral changes:
  *Remove completed downloads*
  - In previous version: remove completed downloads (At startup or Immediately) only hides the completed downloads.
    So if the option is changed to "Never", the previous completed downloads will be shown again.
  - Current version: remove completed downloads (At startup or Immediately) actually removes the completed downloads.
    So if the option is changed to "Never", the previous completed downloads will not be shown,
    only the current and the future completed downloads are shown.
  All completed downloads still can be accessed via "Download History" window.
  Reason: the previous version's implementation sometimes produced inconsistence download item's list ordering.

 *Use temporary .part files while downloading*
  - creating .part files is disabled by default
