how do i back up IDM list of downloaded files when reinstalling without keeping the registry?
do you have to export the registry as describe here if you want to backup the list of downloaded files or those that are in progress, as mentioned here https://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/register/new_faq/functions17.html ? my os is a mess and i prefer if i the default “export to IDM export file” from task menu of IDM works. i am not sure if importing the exported IDM file would confuse the program in my newly installed win 11.
i have no ongoing downloads and just failed downloads i am too lazy to redownload and not in a hurry to use (but they may be useful to me later)
so to confirm, i should just use
“tasks->export -> export IDM files, all”
and all failed and successful downloads will be recorded into that file? reading it using a txt editor it seems to look like this
