Good for: Assist the user in batch downloading various resources from the web: ● extract from the bulk links of web pages only desired ones (advanced filtering system) ● give better names for downloading files using the contextual info available for the corresponding links (name masks system) ● organise downloads by directing them to appropriate custom folders (favorite or automatic folders)

NOT so good for: ● downloading streaming media or embedded videos ● heavily javascripted sites where download links are generated "on the fly" (on user clicks) so my extension cannot see them in advance for objective reasons)

MAIN FEATURES:

● The links may be extracted from active tab / multiple open tabs or from selected text on web pages. Also from the clipboard or a local file or a pattern URL.

웹페이지에서 특정 링크만 다운로드 받을 때 사용하는데 너무 맘에 듭니다. 최근 Chrome이 업데이트 되면서 앞으로 지원 중단될 수 있다고 경고가 나오는데 업그레이드 계획은 없나요?
