external HD as default download location
« on: August 26, 2007, 02:00:20 am »
Hi,

First Altbinz is cool :)

However i have a question, not really sure if it's a problem that can be solved or a feature request. I think it's a request.
I use a folder on my (big) external harddisk as the default download location. But if i start a download when the disk is switched off, altbinz starts downloading to "program files\altbinz\download" and the default download location and temp locations is also changed in the setup.
I have to change it back manually, copy downloaded files, restart the program before resuming the download

Yeah i know, i could switch on my external HD before downloading but i somtimes just forget. Could there be somekind of warning about the default directory not being available ? Like a popup with a "try again" button ?
I had this same issue with newsleecher and if altbinz could handle this it would be a plus i think.

Thanks.

Everything could be done. It's just a question if it's usable just to one or many persons. Probably the best solution for you is to put alt.binz directory (with .exe file) to external HD. That way you won't forget :)
