Is there any Alternative of IEDoDownload?

[ali_basharat]

I need to download a file from a webpage. I have used "IEDoDownload" function of Macro Scheduler but when this function executes it downloads the file but the next statement never executes.

For Example, I have the following code:

Code: Select all

IEDoDownload>fileURL
IEQuit>ie

When

Code: Select all

IEDoDownload>fileURL

statement executes, it downloads and saves the file successfully but the next statement

Code: Select all

IEQuit>ie

never executes.

Is there any alternative to download and save file without using statements like (Press>ALT, Send>s, Release>ALT)? Basically, I don't want to use Press, Send functions because they need interface to run.

The IEDoDownload function was designed for when you click on something on a page and it initiates a file download, and it needs the URL of the page as you see it in IE. You appear to be navigating direct to the file itself, but the IE window will show something else - like where it was already, so the issue may be that you have the file url on the IEDoDownload line, and I think it will then fail to find the right IE window. What you could try is navigate to a known page first.

Also I note that when I navigate directly to a file I get a different kind of download manager. But if I navigate to a known page first I don't. Not sure why that is, could just be a setting my end.

This works for me:

Code: Select all

IECreate>ie_ref
IENavigate>ie_ref,https://www.google.com,ie_res
Wait>1
IENavigate>ie_ref,http://www.clipmagic.com/software/clipmagic4_setup.exe,ie_res
//this needs part of the URL *showing* in the IE window, not the file/url above.
IEDoDownload>google.com
IEQuit>ie_ref,ie_res

That's our trial of ClipMagic and is public so you can try it as is.

I was having the same issue. IEDoDownload just hangs and won't continue. I managed to resolve it by turning off the "Notify me when my Downloads are Complete" in the download options.

Is there a way to use IEDoDownload without turning off that feature?

Thank you andegraaf! Turning off "Notify....." solved my problem.

That flag is probably going in the registry so you could look at it and disable it via script.
