IXD v1.0.44

Linux

• It now runs on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Debian 12 and RHEL/Rocky/Alma 9. The
  build demanded a newer system library than any of those have, so the package
  installed and the application never opened. It is built against an older base
  now and runs on glibc 2.34 and newer.
• There is an AppImage. One file, no installation, any distribution:
  ixd-1.0.44-linux-x86_64.AppImage — make it executable and run it. Earlier
  releases were supposed to have one and never did.
• The .deb says what it needs. It declared nothing at all before, so it
  would install on a machine that could not start it. Install it with
  sudo apt install ./ixd_1.0.44_amd64.deb and the libraries it names come
  with it.

openSUSE Leap 15 is not supported: its system libraries are older than Qt
itself requires.

Nothing else changed. Windows and macOS are the same build as 1.0.43.

answer. Toolbar → Log → Copy.

Downloads

Every platform has both: an installer, and a portable copy
that keeps its files wherever you put them and can replace itself
in place.

Platform	Installer	Portable
Windows	ixd-*-windows-x64-setup.exe	ixd-*-windows-x64.zip
macOS (Apple silicon)	ixd-*-macos-arm64.pkg, or the .dmg	ixd-macos-arm64.zip
Linux	ixd_*_amd64.deb	ixd-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

The Windows installer asks whether to install for everyone — which
needs administrator and goes to Program Files — or just for you,
which needs nothing and goes to %APPDATA%\IXD.

The *-selfupdate* archives are the portable copies that are allowed
to replace their own folder when a new version appears. The ordinary
ones never touch themselves.

Start the application once, then load the extension from the folder
it writes. The two browsers need different manifests under the same
filename, so they get a folder each.

	Chrome / Edge / Brave	Firefox
Linux	~/.local/share/ixd/extension	~/.local/share/ixd/extension-firefox
Windows	%APPDATA%\IXD\extension	%APPDATA%\IXD\extension-firefox
macOS	~/Library/Application Support/IXD/extension	…/extension-firefox

Chrome: chrome://extensions → Developer mode → Load unpacked →
the folder. Firefox: about:debugging → Load Temporary Add-on →
manifest.json inside the folder.

Before you report a problem

macOS is unverified. It builds and packages on a macOS runner and
has never been launched on real hardware. A report either way is
genuinely useful — including "it just worked". It is also neither
signed nor notarised, so the first launch needs right-click → Open,
or xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "Internet Xtreme Downloader.app".

Windows: the first launch takes a while. Windows scans the whole
folder before it runs anything from it. Later launches are immediate.

Linux is the platform this is developed on and gets the most use.
