Thanks, Jaya! It’s installed and I’ll play with it. Took me a bit to find where my friend activity had gone. That’s my major interface with Ravelry these days — scrolling to look for eye candy. But at least now I can see the menu.

Thanks for sharing Jaya – I’d seen that but haven’t explored it yet.? I mostly use Ravelry on my desktop and try to avoid using it on my phone anyway, so this would be a big help for me.
?
My phone still has one “old version” tab open (I did say “try”) and the differences in how things are delineated (what some people have called the grid lines) and the color choices and arrangement of the interface elements makes an amazing amount of difference
for me.??

Here's a suggestion to make it look similar to the old site - but not exactly. I found it made it better, but only on a desktop. Can't do it on a mobile device, I think

Some folks have posted information about plug-ins that can modify the appearance so I’m going to have to figure that out for myself.

So I have to ask… what do you think about the new look for Ravelry?
I have to say that I’m really surprised by the choice to completely rebrand away from colors and logo, but more than that, I’m shocked by how clunky
the interface now looks.? It might function better, I’m not sure, but it’s causing me so much trouble with my eyes and headache that I’m not entirely certain I’ll ever find out.
I did post in the feedback thread, but at the moment I’m not sure how well I’ll be able to keep up in the groups I moderate in, much less with other
groups that I was active in or things I was following or doing on Ravelry.
Pretty sad about this today.

I am annoyed by the cutesiness of the hot air balloons and sailing clouds (and moving stuff? yuck). Didn't spend enough time there today to have much of an opinion yet about usability. Gut feeling is why mess with what worked fine? But I know people get tired of things and want change. And I'm sure I'll get used to this too. I don't mind the clean white page backgrounds and new drop-down menus.

I clomped around a bit after the owner of one of my Facebook groups pointed it out (reaction was mixed and about 50/50). I glanced at the forums I follow, posted a photo in my projects. Other than that. . . Truthfully, it’s as much Rav action as I have had in months. ? ?

I don't really like it - it's just too white, and I don't think I'll like reading it on my tablet when I watch tv, either.? Most folks who have responded in places I read (not the main FTLoR board) don't seem too keen.

Wow. It seems pretty unfortunate and decidedly dated in appearance compared to the original. ?It also has a ‘grasping for syndication’/failed Craftsy feel that worries me wrt Ravelry overall health.?

Mary, One other thought. I found that I had to restart the download after it crashed. Do you see a tiny arrow next to the progress bar or two lines (a pause icon)? If it is the arrow, try clicking it.
Secondly, close the application - it doesn't close automatically after it is done and restart it. Last ditch is to uninstall and reinstall.?
Yes, the speed matters. You could try one episode - it all depends on your link in bluprint. If there is one number than then a slash, it is the course number. Mine were? 3-5 digits. The second number after the slash is the episode number. So if you click on an episode and copy the link, it will include the episode number. See if one will download.?
Yesterday, I attempted to download one course, first to the external drive and then to the Allavsoft folder on drive C.? In each case the bits and pieces of classes were downloaded:? maybe the first full lesson and then parts and bits of some of the rest, maybe a random photograph of a project (wasn't expecting that),? I never downloaded an entire course.?
While I may have straightened out the settings, I now think that the internet connection in Southport is unstable enough to caused interruptions in service that the software can't handle.
This morning, when I made the same attempt, the software show it's downloading, but it clearly isn't doing it.? 25 minutes after beginning the download, it is still showing 0% progress.
I don't think it's the software, although I could uninstall and reinstall, just to be sure.? I think it's Southport's connectivity.?
I think I'm out of luck here, at least for awhile.? A little frustrated, but I don't think there's much I can do at this point.
Mary.

Yes. As long as you aren't using that password for anything else and you don't have any payment info saved.?
Did y'all have to send Allavsoft your Bluprint login info? DH just bought the sofware.

Argh.....
I keep hoping that Bluprint will be bought by a wonderful person or they will offer an easy way to download directly thru your Bluprint account. ? Keep my fingers crossed because I don’t have time to do all this downloading stuff. ???

Yes you do. Figured it wasn’t a particularly risky login to send out into the ether. I don’t have any payment info saved with the account and the email it uses is my junk one. I’d probably remove any more personally identifiable info beforehand.? - Shannon

Re: Allavsoft Downloads Help!

On Sun, Jun 14, 2020 at 8:49 AM Jaya < ermabom@...> wrote: Mary, Shannon has a different?type of HD which is much faster. Also the speed over her connecting cable is faster -it is not the size of the cable but the speed of transfer. That is why hers worked to an external?HD.?
What I recommend is that you set up a folder and do a few classes?first. Move the files to another folder and delete?the temporary?files that the program creates, which are all the files?that don't have an .mp4 file type. Then do a larger number of classes. As you download them, archive them in your class library. Once?the process is working, you can download the rest of your library. It won't download archived classes.
The files are named 'class number - episode?number - title of episode?- class name' so they tend to get sorted together and you can easily identify them later.?
You have a lot of classes, right? Do 5 in a batch. You should be able to do 3-4 batches a day and you'll get them all done.
Shannon,? I began the download process, using Allavsoft with an brand new external HD attached to the laptop.? The external drive is 3 Terabytes with a nice, heavy duty cable.? It should be ready for the job.
I had mixed success so far and have paused the operation.? I attempted to have the download go directly to the external HD, but it nevertheless defaulted to my Allavsoft folder on drive C.? I'm going to re-check my settings and give it another try today.? The Settings screens are what I'd describe as "sensitive" and sometimes revert to the default.? I don't think I've neglected to make sure the settings are saved, but I'll definitely check that too.
So Shannon and Jaya,? both of you then manually move all of the episodes for one class into a designated class folder?? That's ton of work, but I'm willing to do it if that's the best method to use since I'm downloading my entire playlist.
I did email Allavsoft about the external drive as the destination for the download.? They responded quickly.? It certainly appears that they don't really recommend having the downloads sent to an external drive b/c it may cause a download failure.? Here is Allavsoft suppport's response:
Please to set the hard drive as the output location and then move the?
downloaded files to your external drive.
Please click Option-> General ->Browse to select your hard drive as?
output location.
If you still insist use an external drive as output location which may?
cause download failed, here is guide:
If you use an external hard drive, let's say, the external hard drive?
is named X:, then simply set "File Naming" to?
"X:\mybluprint\%(title).%(ext)" in "Option - Preference...", and then?
resume all downloadings by Pressing "Ctrl + F5" in Allavsoft.
Obviously,? I'm still a little lost with this process!? Anyone with any suggestions, chime in, please!
Mary
