What's new in NeoDownloader
What changed in each version of NeoDownloader, newest first.
Version 6.0.1
Added
- Video Downloader: a whole Internet Archive collection or search - films, old radio, concerts - in the order and with the filters the page shows.
- Crawler: a Google Images project has Minimum width and Minimum height under Filters in its site settings. Google states each picture's size in its results, so a smaller picture is not downloaded at all.
Improved
- Video Downloader: the files of an Internet Archive item land in a folder named after the item, under the names the archive gives them.
- Gallery Downloader: Behance files are named by creator, date, project title and number, and a profile or moodboard project takes the profile's or moodboard's name.
- Gallery Downloader: a Snapchat profile brings its story of the day along with its saved stories and Spotlight videos.
- Gallery Downloader: Snapchat files are named by profile, date and story title instead of long codes, and “Found on” opens each file's own story or Spotlight video.
- Video Downloader: a track the site offers only as a short preview is no longer saved as if it were the whole track - the journal says why it was not downloaded.
- Video Downloader: a link copied from SoundCloud's Share button works like the address of the track, profile or playlist itself.
- Video Downloader: music files carry their tags - title, artist, album, genre and date - so a music player lists each track by them rather than by its file name.
- Gallery Downloader: a GIF from a Tenor search or profile is “Found on” its own page, and “Open on the site” opens that GIF rather than the search.
Fixed
- Windows 11 with Smart App Control turned on no longer blocks parts of NeoDownloader when it starts: every file of the program is now signed, not only the ones you run.
- Video Downloader: audio files from the Internet Archive no longer end in "0p".
- Gallery Downloader: Behance projects, profiles and moodboards are no longer reported as a site that cannot be reached.
- Video Downloader: tracks from SoundCloud, Bandcamp and other music sites download on the free version - they used to stop with “format not available”.
- Video Downloader: songs of a JioSaavn album or playlist are named by their titles, with the artist and album inside, instead of a code.
- Video Downloader: Jamendo tracks no longer end in "400p" - they come in the best quality the site offers, with their tags inside.
- Video Downloader: a video behind a password says so - in the wizard and in the journal - instead of "DownloadError".
- Crawler: a Google image search copied from your own country's Google - google.de, google.co.uk and the rest - downloads the way one from google.com does, instead of being read as an unknown site.
- Gallery Downloader: a file whose address carries no extension, such as an X profile banner, is named by what the site sent - .jpg, .png and the like - instead of being saved without one.
- The file viewer speaks the program's language: its arrows, buttons and messages are no longer in English whatever the language you chose.
- Video Downloader: a video whose site refuses to give it stops within seconds and the journal says what the site answered. It used to stay at zero for up to an hour.
- Stop ends a project within seconds even while a plugin is waiting on a site that does not answer. It used to take minutes and end with "The plugin went quiet".
- Gallery Downloader: Instagram highlights and profile pictures download again, and Steam Community screenshots and artworks can be taken from a game's page or a person's profile.
And other small improvements.
