FDM development side track in these years... 452821

[plb7777]

when i first heard about FDM 5.x i was very excited to use a new UI. But new UI came with limited features make me sad. but developers put all their afford to develop new UI as well as new OS that makes it a bit advanced manager in the market. But even this has a price that eats so much ram and also came with large size. after these years of development and bugs i found out that FDM 3.x was used by many people and FDM 6.x was used by some. if they had alternatives then they will shift to other manager i bet.

for me it would be better if the developers retain FDM 3.x for windows with more emphasis on browsers and on web players. and named FDM 6.x as FDM 3.x for other OS then it will appreciated and liked by the s more than now.

thanking you

Hello,

Do you want to pay us for the development of FDM3? I don't think so.

We do not have unlimited budget too. We had to find (as all we do) an optimal way of developing FDM. Even Microsoft switches its Skype to Electron to save resources.

The optimal way for us is to use Qt.
We pay: some extra memory usage (not very big through), increased distributive size.
We get: relatively cheap cross-platform development.

FDM6 is much more stable than FDM3. I can assure you in this as the main developer of both. FDM6 still has some issues we need to address, but overall there is no reason to prefer FDM3 on Windows 7 and higher.

We keep adding FDM3 features to FDM6. Many of them already exists in FDM6 (and never existed in FDM5).
s can influence on this using this topic.

first of all thanks for replying this thread.

about the development of FDM 3.x paying is the secondary thing. if you do believe in FDM 6.x then why is FDm 3.x and FDM 5.x doing in the ing section. stop all the thread that is for FDM 3.x and FDM 5.x and migrate them to archive and completely remove from active forum. and lastly tells all the s to switch to fdm 6.x.

But it is not me it is you who donot believe in FDM 6.x. and i have used FDM 6.x for a month with mozilla, chrome in my laptop. But it did not take s from browsers clearly. no video above or below the video players.

again it will be great if FDM 6.x next version came with following upgradation (if possible and without wasting much resources from your side then)
1. Option to choose portable version during installation or provide additional link in the page for portable version or both.
2. 2 or 3 column for each in the main table that will make it consume less size and you can put progress bar in it.
3. develop browser extension to more and more web video player and show it button during video playback.
4. design browser extension to youtube and other services directly from browser without parsing the whole url and ing webbased js file and parse youtube link everytime.
5. add a new window that will youtube-dl or custom files design by FDM team to parse all the ed video services and extract all available format with size and can choose their favorite video and it.

if i am not clear any points then ask me i can explain and FYI i have send you a link kindly use and take a reference of it.

thanking you
