Just bought this app on sale. Installed it, activated it, went for filters, and the button, download filter in filter forge, do nothing. I am registered, using win 8.1 and Chrome.

Have Filter Forge open and running before trying to download filters.....It might be file associations issues with either win81 or chrome....

I thought I'd add the same thing's happening to me. I'm using Chrome and win 8.1 and nothing happens when I click the download link (after adding cookies).
I'd say this needs to be looked at. |

Well its a problem with chrome and its opening of files...So its a little bit of fixing of chrome....Just like firefox when this happens except chrome works on its own.....So here is the procedure to fix this....
Just open the settings in chrome...........  Stupid things happen to computers for stupid reasons at stupid times! |

Then once the settings pop up in the new page click on "Advanced Settings" at the end of the page....

Now scroll down to the part where its says "Downloads" right below "languages"...and uncheck where it says "Ask where to save each file before downloading"....

Once you do this you can then go to the filter forge library and download a filter.....Once you click on a filter to download chrome will give you this message below.....Check "Remember my choice for all links of this type".....then click "Open Application"......chrome should now open filters with filter forge everytime......

I am using win7 and IE8.(things may be different in win8)......It may be still in the same spot but in IE choose "Internet Options"......Then choose to associate a file type with a program..(it may be something different in win8)...A window similar to this will pop up..
Look for the highlighted below....ffxml should be associated with filter forge...  Stupid things happen to computers for stupid reasons at stupid times! |

Now uncheck "Always Ask, blah, blah"....This way this box will not always appear when downloading filters through the FF website....
