Download menu - filth - 01-05-2023

Greetings, there is a request to add to the download menu the choice of your downloader and not just IDM:
[Image: sshot-1.png]

Is it possible to register another downloader there? (eg DM or ANT) This functionality is missing in the browser.
This icon appears if IDM is installed on the system, you don't even need to install an extension.

They are read from COM interface in the registry.
Nowadays many downloaders provide neither COM interface nor command line, making it almost impossible to be called by third-party software.

It is possible more in detail where exactly this COM-interface in the register? If I change this registry COM interface to a different downloader?

hello, is it possible to add a choice of custom downloader in the settings? with a choice of an executable file on a computer and a field with a launch line, like a browser launch field with keys in the settings? it would not be bad, just like yt-dlp Wink

and the built-in downloader does not download using idm? but the icon is shown from idm

https://i.imgur.com/5k8YdNJ.gif integration into idm is disabled, the built-in downloader is enabled, and there are no extensions, but the icon is still from idm

For IDM, it is "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\IDMan.CIDMLinkTransmitter".
This item links to a COM dll.
The COM dll internally provides methods of downloading files.
Changing the registry on your own has no use.
This should be written by the manufacture.
You may contact ANT for providing COM interface or command line usage.

Thanks for clarifying the situation, I'll try to contact the DM developer.

Yes, the browser reads the registry proactively, doesn't need its browser integration.
Unfortunately most downloaders don't support command line usage like yt-dlp, because they are aimed at the average user.

that is, if idm is installed in the system, but not selected as a downloader, and there are no extensions, then the browser's internal downloader not only shows an icon, but also downloads using idm? (not showing idm download window, and not adding download to idm)

e.g. aria2 Wink

Installed in the sandbox DM then mounted the registry hive: Is this the wrong COM integration by any chance?

Command line is also supported: https://westbyte.com/dm/help/tutorial_commandline.htm
You can see the downloader at the link: https://www.westbyte.com/dm/
