OK, i figured it out.
I guess some tasks haven’t completed yet, but you renamed or moved directory –> “Invalid save location”. That error task’s not display in tasks list because that error so you can’t figured it out.

You should delete or replace your Config/Task file with new one. I will take care of this error in next version.

Check your tasks, I guess it has some mistake in save location.

When starting the app, this error appears:

‘Invalid save location!’.

I’m not sure what location it is complaining about. The default download directory is valid and downloading items to a subfolder of the base directory still works.

(Xl mình không biết tiếng Anh :XD)
Mình nghĩ bạn có thể thêm chức năng ” minimize to tray ” khi download được không ? Theo tớ thì nó cũng khá cần thiết (ví dụ như phần mềm IDM chẳng hạn …) , với nó người dùng sẽ dễ thao tác các chương trình trên máy tính hơn khi đang chờ download .

How about change log on every release integrated with the program? so user can know what is changing even without open the browser

Wow, thanks for your suggestions.
I will consider about those features in version 1.8.

Thanks again

Feature requests:

* Better bookmark management.:
Would be nice to be able to visibly tell on the manga list which are bookmarked, like with a star icon. Opening the entry should then show a toggle button to enable/disable the bookmark. And if there is going to be an icon, you can change the icon if there is an update for that manga.

Also, perhaps a filter option to only show bookmarked entries?

* Unified manga list:
It is a chore to cycle between the current three manga sites to repeatedly search for / bookmark something. A unified list would make searching / bookmarking / comparing easier.

* Better error logging
The download process for some manga would just sit there inactive forever with no error message. For example, if you go to MangaHut \ Gantz and try to download ’000 – Manual’, the app will be stuck at ‘Loading Gantz’. Would be nice to have more info in the status column to see what exactly it is doing.

With earlier versions of DomDom, I’ve seen the app freeze if I try to do too much at the same time, like downloading something and then quickly making a change to the manga site dropdown list. I would have to kill the process but I would be left not knowing which manga image did it download last at the time of the crash at. This makes it hard to check if the last image downloaded completely.

Some sort of logging would help or at least show in the status something like:

Downloading: folder name \ image name.jpg

I don’t know how your app works internally so perhaps it has methods to prevent corruption? Like not downloading each image directly to the target folder but to a temp file / memory buffer and only copying the file to the final location once that image download is complete…

* Better task management
How adding a [Queue] button next to the [Download] button so we have queue up several jobs and then run it later? In earlier releases, it would often crash if I try to download something and searching for something. Maybe that is fixed but I’m still cautious.
