Re: FDM 6.0 ALPHA 431d6a
Great for a first version.
Tried the OS X version. Works very well.
Only real essential issue that I could see in very brief testing:
1 - Automatically remove deleted files from list is missing.
2 - The Delete action options don't work if you select only remove from list ...it always deletes the file ....so, regarding 1, if you clear the s list manually it will trash your s.

Thanks for the report! For now, you can use the context menu instead (right mouse button click on a ). It works as expected.

Re: FDM 6.0 ALPHA 431d6a
do you plan on open sourcing it as FDM 5.x has been very buggy, it would be helpful if people could help you fix bugs.
Re: FDM 6.0 ALPHA 431d6a
So when you finish the core develop work of FDM 6, could you please extract the strings need to be localized as soon as possible? It will be a good thing for beta s to use localized beta versions.
Re: FDM 6.0 ALPHA 431d6a
As a suggestion, I hope there will be a dark theme for Android.

Re: FDM 6.0 ALPHA 431d6a
You asked for suggestions in your announcement so I thought I'd post them here. I haven't installed the Android version yet so I don't know what features it has but I currently use FDM on Windows.
The most important feature for me is to be able to schedule s. I live in a rural area and have metered internet. I have a larger data allowance at night. Additionally, my internet is slow so it is nearly impossible to enjoy an online video real-time.
I currently use an Nvidia Shield TV box to view ed videos so it would be very useful to be able to schedule video s (including YouTube videos) directly from the Shield.
It would also be useful to have an option to automatically new videos when they are posted to a YouTube channel.
And it would be great to have an Android TV version so it could be navigated with a remote control.
Thanks

Re: FDM 6.0 ALPHA 431d6a
I don't understand the purpose of 6.0 version, if the same UI of 5.x but looks like an early development Branch of 5.1, it lacks most of the features of 3.x.x and also it lacks the features from 5.x.
Re: FDM 6.0 ALPHA 431d6a
Currently FDM 6 is about half of FDM 5.1 - it comes with QT Framework but without Chromium Embedded Framework.

Re: FDM 6.0 ALPHA 431d6a
hey, when will be release the linux version? I am so happy that it will be one

Re: FDM 6.0 ALPHA 431d6a
Came back to the forum after more than a year. Was excited to see a version 6. Unfortunately, so far the 6.0 has not impressed me in any way. I do get you guys had to do a lot of things to create the new version. Furthermore, I do have to agree with MELERIX.
Other than the lower size and overall file space size, it eats similar ram and power when active and idle and has similar UI, minus 50% features.

Alex,
Great news. I've been hanging on to FDM 5.1.34 build 6924 on my Windows computer because of the broken server time for ed files feature in subsequent builds (last I checked was in .. July? August?). It's good to see that the dev team is still working on streamlining the app and making it available on more platforms.
A couple of quick questions:
1) Is it able to be installed *and run* concurrently with FDM 5 / 3?
2) I noticed that you've already stated that it lacks many features, so I won't be a moron and complain about it not having Feature X or Y that I really like - but I would like to know, is there a working set of features that you're (currently) planning on incorporating?
3) Are you going to start a new 'Vote for FDM 6 Features" thread similar to the one for FDM 5, or are you simply going to refer to the same thread and expand it to include FDM 6?[/list]
I think that is all for now - If I think of anything, I'll post back.
(Argh - just noticed that the list tags don't seem to work when viewing in Firefox Nightly - manually added numbers and indent (which is still stripped out lol) to my questions)

Yes.

All I can say for now, is that the next update should (at minimum) bring Torrents , "Use server time for file creaion" setting.
johnlgalt wrote:3) Are you going to start a new 'Vote for FDM 6 Features" thread
We have no plans for this currently.
