hi dejan,

yes there are lot's of options with wget. but i think the beauty of the actual pwget is it's absolute simplicity.

but maybe a nice approach would be (like in pfind):

- pwget starts with the actual (simple) gui
- it has a new button 'Advanced'
- 'Advanced' closes (simple) gui and opens (advanced) gui
- (advanced) gui has lot's of additional options and of course a 'Simple' button to return to (simple) gui

in this way pwget would cover both requirements.

Sounds good Aragon if you want to have a go . . .

The download website could be added to the advanced page along with download only certain file types from a site (for example jpg as has been mentioned

Any other commands that could be added?

additional commands will take some time: http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html Wink

but from what i remember (for websites)

- filetypes
- --level=depth
- include-dirs
- exclude-dirs

as i wanted to extend my script/gtkdialog-knowledge, i will give a try.

but i think for now, pwget is nice as it is, a simple tool for (most) users. the advanced user uses wget directly.

Hey Lobster...I like pwget...please don't get too many functions as it's perfect for me as is....Thanks for pwget..I use it all the time as I'm such a slow typist with the command line.

Copy and paste into pwget/wget is a real time saver here.

SURE!

pwget remains like it is, with one button more => advanced.

Ok, now a first alpha.

The featurelist of wget is looooong, so i picked this ones:

- Copy Website
- Download multiple files
- Download files from filelist

with simplest options.

Please test.

just tried

on Puppy 3.01, When I click on a pwget simple button, GUI disappears, and does not turn in simple pwget mode

hi dingo,

2 possible reasons:

- pwget (simple) is not installed. it is a link to lobsters pwget. => main post
- pwget is installed but in another directory. it is a link to /usr/local/bin/pwget

if advanced proofs it's functions and lobster gives his ok, we could bundle the 2 parts later.

Works great guys, well done! Wink

Sorry Aragon - only just seen this Smile

I would do it the other way around
Start in simple mode and add a button for advanced features
I would maybe change 'Copy Website' to 'Download Website'

In Help - 'address' (not 'adress' - spelling)
