If you launch PhotoBulk and the program appears in the taskbar, but does not open, then most likely the program window is off the screen.

There are 2 ways to resolve the issue:

  1. You can move the window on the screen:

    1. Click on the PhotoBulk icon on the desktop;

    2. Press Alt+Space to invoke the system menu of the window. Typically, the menu is in the upper left corner, but if the window is outside the screen, the menu will be located close to the off-screen window;

    3. Press M, corresponding to the Move command, and return the “straying” window into place with the arrow keys.

  2. Otherwise, you can manually edit the registry:

    1. Close the application from the taskbar;

    2. Launch Windows Registry editor (click Start → Run → type regedit → click OK);

    3. Navigate to:

      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eltima Software\PhotoBulk\1.0\photobulk\Main Window

    4. Delete X and Y coordinates settings in that registry key. If you have this error, the numbers will be negative or very large.

Connect to an FTP Server

This feature is available in PRO Pack mode only!

Follow these steps to use the built-in FTP client:

1. Click the “FTP connections” toolbar button.

2. In Name field type the connection name.

Set the protocol type – FTP, FTPS or SFTP.

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. This is one of the most common ways to upload and download files from the server.
FTPS is FTP with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) for security. It uses a control channel and opens new connections for the data transfer.
SFTP stands for Secure File Transfer Protocol and is the encrypted version of FTP. Users are advised to use the SFTP protocol to ensure that the file transmission is secure.

3. Type the server address.

4. Set the port number. By default, it is set to 21.

5. Enter your login and password. If you do not have an account on the server, check Anonymous login.

6. Choose the connection mode – Active or Passive.
Active and passive modes are the two modes that FTP can run in. FTP uses two channels between client and server: command and data, which are actually separate TCP connections.
The command channel is for commands and responses. The data channel is for actually transferring files.
In active mode, the client establishes the command channel, while the server establishes the data channel.
In passive mode, the client establishes both channels. In this case, the server tells the client which port should be used for the data channel.
Passive mode is generally used when the FTP server is not able to establish the data channel. One of the major reasons for this is network firewalls. Passive mode solves this by opening up both types of channel from the client side.
Active mode is set by default.

7. Set the remote path – This is the folder on the web server the file is uploaded to. Leaving the remote path filed blank means the file will be uploaded to the default folder your FTP account logs into.

8. Click Connect.

Now you can work on the server like on a local hard disk – you can upload and download files, delete them, edit, etc.

To terminate the connection, click Disconnect:

Or click Eject:

If you host your FTP servers with Atlantic.Net check the following instruction.

Dropbox

You can connect one or even several Dropbox accounts to Commander One and work with files in the account(s) directly from the app’s interface.

External Dropbox mounter is available in PRO Pack mode only!

Additionally, you will be able to use the Share and other Dropbox options when working with the Dropbox files through Commander One’s interface (via the right-click menu):

Notes:

1. The context menu integration is available only if Dropbox.app is installed on your Mac.
2. In case Selective Sync is enabled (go to Dropbox Preferences from your desktop –> the Account tab), unchecked folders (folders that you don’t want to sync to your computer’s hard drive) won’t be shown in Commander One’s interface as well. However, if you open the Dropbox account as a disk, you will be able to see and work with the unchecked folders.

You can also use the Share and other Dropbox options when mounting Dropbox as a disk:

Note: You should be logged into your Dropbox account in your browser.

To connect your Dropbox account, go to Preferences (the Integration tab) and link the account.

The default browser on your Mac will launch. Now follow the steps of the wizard.

In case you connected several Dropbox accounts, make sure you’ve chosen the required one in the drop-down menu in Preferences, before starting working with files in the account through Commander One interface.

Google Drive

You can connect your Google Drive account to Commander One and work with files in the account directly from the app’s interface.

Google Drive mounter is available in PRO Pack mode only!


To connect your Google Drive account, go to Preferences (the Integration tab) and link the account.

The default browser on your Mac will launch. Now follow the steps of the wizard.

Amazon S3

Commander One allows accessing and managing data stored on Amazon S3. Amazon S3 is a cloud storage for the Internet.

Follow these steps to connect to Amazon S3:

1. Click the Amazon S3 toolbar button.
2. In Name field type the connection name.
3. Enter the Access key. This is actually a username.
4. Enter the Secret key. This key plays the role of a password.
5. Enter the bucket name. The region where your bucket resides is detected automatically.
6. Click Connect.

Currently, Airy does not download age-restricted videos from channels like Vevo. Also, videos marked as deleted cannot be downloaded as well. Such videos will be skipped, and you will get the corresponding message:

3. Once parsing is over, choose the format to save the files into:

Customize Torrent Settings

The settings related to downloading torrents are grouped on the Torrents tab in Preferences. There are two sections there, Network and .torrent.

Network

Enable DHT Network. With this option enabled, Folx will connect not only to peers associated with the tracker you got the torrent file from, but also to other peers on the Internet that are connected to the DHT network. This option enables “trackerless” downloading and facilitates finding peers when the tracker is down.

The Enable NAT-PMP option enables the NAT Port Mapping Protocol, which is a network protocol that allows a computer in a private network (behind a NAT router) to automatically configure the router to allow connections outside the private network. Enable this option if you don’t want to bother with configuring port forwarding manually.

Enable Local Peer Discovery allows Folx to discover peers on the local network in order to maximize the data exchange rate while minimizing Internet traffic.

The Global maximum number of connections and Maximum number of connections per torrent options set the limits on the maximum number of connections that can be open at a given moment, for all active torrents and each torrent separately.

Maximum number of upload slots per torrent limits the number of peers that can connect to you per torrent. Fewer upload slots will make for higher upload rates with each peer. More slots will increase the number of peers and thus your chances of getting all files in a timely fashion. Too many slots, however, may cause some peers to blacklist you because you are uploading to them too slowly.

Incoming TCP port sets the port on which Folx will listen for incoming connections. It defaults to 14082 and can be changed if needed (this will require Folx to be restarted).

Note: You may need to open the selected port on your firewall, and if NAT-PMP is disabled, also manually configure port forwarding on your router.

Check Randomize port on launch if you want the listening port to randomly change on every Folx start.

The Stop seeding at ratio option will tell Folx to stop seeding upon reaching the specified ratio. By default, this option is disabled.

Note: When checked, the Stop seeding at ratio option will apply to all torrent tasks in the Downloads list (provided that the Global Settings option in the context menu is enabled).

.torrent

Here you can specify what Folx should do with the .torrent files associated with your tasks. The available options are self-explanatory.

Press Set as default next to Open torrents with Folx if you want to make Folx your default torrent client.

In the PRO version of Folx you can control global speed limits via the dropdown menu in the lower left corner of the program:

There are three modes available:

  • No Limitations:

    Files will be downloaded/uploaded at maximum speed.

  • Manual Speed Adjustment:

    Folx will adhere to the limits set in the Limit Download/Upload Speed to dropdowns. The Auto option will enable Smart Speed for the given direction (see below).

  • Smart Speed Adjustment

    The download/upload limits will be set dynamically based on whether there is Internet traffic from a web browser or another application.

    The Smart Speed options are grouped on the respective tab in Preferences:

    Here you can add the required applications to the list and set the speed limits as needed. To enable Smart Speed based on a schedule, check the Limit by time option and specify the week days and time on which you’d like to have it enabled.

PRO version users have the ability to search for torrents to download directly from Folx’s interface. Just type your query into the search bar at the top and, once you’ve found a torrent you want, click Download next to it to create a task:

Note: Torrents are aggregated from a number of trackers equipped with a special search engine. You can see their list on the Search tab in Preferences.

Downloading torrents

1. Create a download task in one of the following ways:

  • Select File → New Task in the main menu or press the + button at the top of the main window:

    In the dialog that opens switch to the Torrent tab and browse to the torrent file on your hard drive:

  • Use Folx’s built-in search to find a torrent of your liking. Add it by pressing Download in the search results.

  • Click a magnet link or a .torrent file link on a web page (the latter requires the Use Folx to catch download links in browsers option in Preferences to be enabled).

  • Save to: choose the download path.

    Select your own, or leave Automatic to let Folx set the download path based on the first tag you have chosen (these paths can be configured on the Tags tab in Preferences). Assigning more than one tag will not affect the download path; rather, in each of the directories set for these tags a link to the file will be created.

  • Start: specify whether the download should start automatically, manually or on schedule.

  • If the torrent contains multiple files, select which of them you want to download.

  • Description: set a description for the files.

    Once downloaded, the files will become searchable by this description in Spotlight. To view the description as well as the assigned tags, locate a file in Finder, select Get Info from the right-click menu and check the Comments section.

  • Set as default: click to remember the current settings. These settings will be automatically applied the next time you add a task.

Scheduler allows to take full control over your downloads. Now you can set the time to start and finish your download tasks. Moreover, Folx will start automatically, if you set it to do so. Thus you don’t need to worry about anything, because Folx will perform all appointed tasks without your direct participation.

To schedule tasks, take these steps:

  • Choose time and day to start downloads.
  • Choose time to stop downloads.
  • Choose whether to shut down, switch to sleeping mode or quit the program once downloads are completed.
