What it does?
LinkedIn GUI version is capable to download multiple courses from LinkedIn Learning by a given list. It creates separate folder for each course and rename all downloaded vides with generated numbers to be able to be ordered lexicographically properly by your windows.
More about the program The program is based on SeleniumWebDriver library and is written in python and the code converted to executable. My idea was to make it easier for using since not everyone is familiar with python, consoles, libraries and so on, but anyone can run a simple exe file. So said, you do not need to have python or libraies installed on your pc to run the program, everything is built in the exe istelf. Of course the downside is that it can be only run on Windows operation system. Obviously this is not the best solution, not even the fastest but the target here is to have easy for using, free and functional program.
How to use the program You have five tabs Login, Download, Browser, Timings and About
Login Tab You have to fill the fields with your LinkedIn Learning username(email address) and password. If the Login is checked the program will try to login into LinkedIn with the given credentials. If for some reason the program does not login succesfully you can do it manualy and then re-run the program with "Use Profile" checkbox under the Browser tab checked and "Login" unchecked. The program will try to open LinkedIn with the saved in the broswer user profile credentials.
Download Tab
As shown in the image the first field is for the courses. Each course link must be placed in a row, one above another. No other separators like comas, semicolumns or one after another with space will be recognised. The second field is for the directory which will be used to save all downloaded courses.
Browser Tab Here you can change the browser agent, this is in favour if you want to replace your original chrome browser agent with another, say mobile, safary or firefox etc. The extra checkboxes are for the browser extensions, browser window (unselected checkbox will hide the browser window), GPU rendering, Using user profile, sandbox.
Timings Tab Added an option to delay the login so you can use that time to manually login to linkedIn. This is very handy if you login to Linkedin via organisation portal. Once you login successfully, close the browser window and then restart the program. The program will search for the saved credentials and try to open LinkedIn directly without need to login (uncheck the login checkbox before starting the program).
