ArrowDL Google Chrome extension doesn't grab selected links

Open Revilak opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

Hello, I'm cataloging my videogames library and I need to download the videogames' screenshots from SteamDB website, i.e for Frostpunk 2 the page is https://steamdb.info/app/1601580/screenshots/ I select some JPG links they right click on context menu ArrowDL - Save selection but the ArrowDL client window stays empty. Also if I manually click on ArrowDL menu "Add list of Urls" that window doesn't show any links. Furthermore I pasted on a text editor the result after right clicking on context menu ArrowDL - Save selection but I got nothing. I use Google Chrome 129.0.6668.71, ArrowDL client 4.02, Google Chrome extension 4.0.2

Hi,

I can't reproduce the issue with Firefox nor with Chrome.

Both Firefox and Chrome work on my machine:

01

Did you follow the instructions in ReadMe.txt? Then, try to verify the install, go to “Options” in the WebExtension interface in your Web Browser. It should tell you if it’s correctly connected with the Application. See "status" is "Ok".

Hi, I just ran install.bat, got "Done" message and checked ArrowDL extension options on Google Chrome and Firefox with Status OK (1st screenshot) but I still can't grab the selected images links with those browsers and ArrowDL window stays empty. I also tried with Microsoft Edge (both specific Edge addon and also Chrome web Store addon) but both ArrowDL extensions didn't even find the launcher (2nd screenshot), this is rather weird.

Hello all,

I just retried and it works with Chrome, Edge and Firefox, with extensions (link click), and also with direct url copy-paste.

To better understand:

Could you please copy this link and paste it in ArrowDL > File > Download URLS... > Start

https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1601580/5fcef70d6bc626f4c0cfc74826c3a27125bd1376/ss_5fcef70d6bc626f4c0cfc74826c3a27125bd1376.jpg

  • If it can't download, maybe the file is already downloaded or the destination folder can't be reach (access?), or something blocks ArrowDL to download (firewall?)
  • If it downloads, the issue might be with the webextension (install or config maybe?)

Regards,
