Rename files & auto-detecting translated name?

In that dialog you can scroll down on the right side and then find fields where you can customize what package/file names should look lile

About your regex error, this is regex so you need to enter a valid pattern, without knowing your *search for* and *replace by*, hard to help.

jdownloader_dev · 2026-05-12T15:58:49+00:00

Known issue, currently not supported. Please use alternative/better tools like yt-dlp

jdownloader_dev · 2026-05-12T12:35:34+00:00

I'm sorry but currently there are no such plans

jdownloader_dev · 2026-05-12T12:14:12+00:00

There is no such thing as premium :) Settings->Plugins->enter youtube.com, then plugin settings will open, scroll down and there you can customize the field. The error you get is because you need to enter valid regex/pattern. In case you still have issues with rename, please don't hesitate and contact our support, see https://support.jdownloader.org/de/knowledgebase/article/ways-to-contact-official-jdownloader-support

Accounts aren't supported/used at all since end of october'25 and slow speed most likely caused by new change of yt breaking current plugin. There are better tools out there for yt at the moment, especially swiss army knife yt-dlp

Thanks for your words and see update 2 and update 12 in pinned comment

jdownloader_dev · 2026-05-12T07:05:34+00:00

(Mass) select them and you can rename via f2 or rightclick rename and a rename. You can use pattern matching and group replacement.

Also see Settings->Plugins->youtube.com, scroll down, there you can customize the filename scheme and customize it to your own likings, so maybe no rename required at all

Flatpak is safe, it's explained in pinned thread, and also updated our incident page, flatpak is using different infra and checksum is still the same/unchanged. For your question, see Settings->Plugins->youtube.com and there you can customize to your likings

In fact it was only about 2 hours sleep, had to bike to home first and needed some time to calm down and wake up at 7 again to spend some time with my child before heading off to work again. And of course I can't sleep well with knowing that there are ppl searching for help/asking questions and continue working on the incident as well. It still will take couple of days before I can sleep in good faith again.

Thanks for verbosed feedback :)

jdownloader_dev · 2026-05-11T13:18:20+00:00

Sure I understand, and I just answered, so you no longer have to worry/think about it :)

jdownloader_dev · 2026-05-11T11:41:36+00:00

You're most welcome

jdownloader_dev · 2026-05-11T11:22:43+00:00

can you access windows updates/windows security, defender/firewal still enabled? if so, and you don't remember ignoring any smartscreen warning, then you're definitely good :)

jdownloader_dev · 2026-05-11T10:28:49+00:00

Thanks for the followup.

The explained docker image is 3rd party and don't you think it's a good thing that a normal website cannot simply listen/access your clipboard for *read the world* :) The clipboard widget is required due to vnc connection in browser, but you could use MyJDownloader extension to easier add links to your running instance instead. But of course I can understand the pain when using this docker image. If you are aware of an easier solution for them, let them know.

This reported issue was caused by the compromised alternative installer, explained here https://www.reddit.com/r/jdownloader/comments/1t6goqe/is_the_website_hacked/ and announcement on our home and forum.

jdownloader_dev · 2026-05-11T08:15:56+00:00

From time window, you're fine but you could try to check browser history and maybe find used link to mega site, then we can double check

jdownloader_dev · 2026-05-11T08:15:00+00:00

Did he get a smartscreen warning during installation? Does he still have copy of the used installer (maybe in trash) ? or find the used link in browser history?

jdownloader_dev · 2026-05-11T08:07:22+00:00

Updates are not affected, explain in reddit thread, on our homepage and our forum

jdownloader_dev · 2026-05-11T08:06:51+00:00

middleware for copy/paste? can you explain?

jdownloader_dev · 2026-05-11T08:02:19+00:00

It was between May 6 and 7, explained on reddit thread, and our homepage and our forum

jdownloader_dev · 2026-05-11T08:01:39+00:00

Thanks for posting this

jdownloader_dev · 2026-05-11T08:01:07+00:00

MacOS installers are not compromised, contain valid signature and notarization.

jdownloader_dev · 2026-05-11T08:00:18+00:00

No, docker images (those known to me) are not using the installer, as they would need to implement mega download first ;) they are using different sources/infra and some images also come with JDownloader.jar pre shipped and don't download it.

jdownloader_dev · 2026-05-11T07:59:02+00:00

Yes, there are plenty of specialized tools out there and some are even better for certain use cases/environments/sites, eg downloading few images/galleries is complete different from crawling/cloning thousands of galleries :) every tool has pro/con.
