Ecarion Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 @Stig From my point of view, I imagine maybe you can find one solution. My advice would be : in the tab Downloads, you need to uncheck this or (these) checkbox (like on this image) : Show start download dialog Show download complete dialog (That's just one suggestion) Then if you wish you can also click on the button Edit (next to this sentence : Customize "Download progress" dialog). (like on this picture) :Replace the Start view setting by this one Don't show. Once you had done, each downloading will be launch automatically and IDM won't bother you at all. About the folder location, did you take a look in the tab Save to ? Because maybe you don't know but you can create or modify (the folder, extension files) these categories (via the button New or Edit). Nevertheless, I use the categories because for me, it's good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stig Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Thanks Ecarion, but none of those suggestions work. I also unchecked: Show start download dialog, and yes, I have avoided having to click the "Start Download" button, but I am not given any choice of where to download to.

debebee Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Spoiler I am not given any choice of where to download to. Not in the design of IDM if you want that download from your browser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought I would ask in case it could be done. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneAl Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Just to let those who replied to me know that I watched IDM's behaviour for the rest of the day to see if there was a pattern, but there wasn't really, but then I remembered when I installed this version, it took forever to integrate with FireFox (updated to v53.0 only a few minutes before) but eventually said it was, so I actually re-installed yesterday and this time it integrated like usual, instantly, and it now seems to be a lot less erratic, not perfect but at least not crazy. It also seems to have stopped asking for extra downloads and where to store them, that's the best part. This only happened on YT with vidoes, that's funny thing, but now it's ok, I hope.. Normal file downloads have never been affected although the right-click shell menu now has only the one entry (Download with IDM) instead of the usual 2 (Download with IDM,, and,, Download all links with IDM) or something similar. At least it seems to work ok again. Thanks for the replies and suggestions, some good suggestions for future thought in there. If it starts again, there's always the previous version, 6.27b05 that I used without any problems, to go back to.. Regards,, InsaneAl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
