A small update:
a sharper tray icon pet a bit smaller, due to compressed icons These changes were already in my local pWget when I made 0.9.4, and I thought I had copied them to the folder that became pWget-0.9.4.pet ...  0.9.5 will be perfect 
The change to urxvt is important, as it gives a much nicer terminal and you can easily tweak its layout to your liking. (Menu > Desktop > UrxvtSet)

I hope so, too. Testing 0.9.4.1 in Fatdog64-701.
Tray icon and help page very nice. I have added Comment[de] into pWget.desktop (see image). My problem is: I have no idea how to "Drag URL(s) here" 
(The window has the same look as in your help.) Clicking Download produces an empty page, an error message would be much nicer. Anyhow, I believe that 0.9.5 will be perfect!

Hi L18L, Thanks for testing!
I know you know how to drag So what can be the problem...maybe you expected to see the URL in the d&d window after dropping it there?
The moment you drop the file it disappears into the bottomless depths of the window. Just click the Download button, ready.
I just checked pWget in Fatdog. For me downloading works as it should. The only difference is Fatdog doesn't seem to understand
Instead of opening the destination folder with the file manager, it opens a blank page in Seamonkey 
If you replace the "xdg-open" with "rox" it should work as intended. I use this "xdg-open" to make it possible to use another default file manager than rox. Thanks for the comment[de] translation. Will be in next version. Bye! PS I see the wget-help function in the right-click menu works fine in Fatdog, like it does in Puppy Precise. Unfortunately, testing in Tahr, the terminal window refuses to stay open. More fine-tuning to do

No, I don't know. Really. URL is a string containing a "Internet Address". Right? Example: I want do download http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=90541&start=30 1st try Highlighted this in the browser clicked middle button in pWget window clicked Download. Browser tab opened: file:///root/ 2nd try wrote the URL into a text file
dragged this file and dropped it into pWget window clicked Download. Browser tab opened: file:///root/ Please give me a URL and an explanation what exactly has to be done.
EDIT fd uses spot for internet .... |

Nonono, Your intelligence and experience get in the way...pWget 0.9.4 was written for dummies like me 
All you need to do is this: 
and click the Download button. It would be hard to make this simpler
Here's another example. Don't click on it (no need) just open pWget and drag the link (the blue word 'example') into the window. Click Download and ...done. Same thing if you are in the site the link points to: 
This works in all puppies I tested (Precise 5.7.1, Precise 5.7.2, Librepup, Thar puppy.) No need for mkdir in those distros)
This much I knew...again, xdg-open works perfectly in the distros above and in Lubuntu and Linux Light... only Fatdog doesn't understand a file in the file tree is a file, not a web address... Clearly, we'll need some additional code if the hostname is Fatdog

This will be, hopefully, fixed in next release (see the 3rd section of this post): http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=843371#843371 @L18L: re dragging the URL Perhaps it doesn't work in some browsers, but works for me in Seamonkey and Chromium. Anyway, just take a look at the screenshot (Chromium). I hope it explains the matter definitely.
Greetings!

no code for this, just the explanations of how to drag a link. Thanks you. The examples have made it clear for me. And SFR's gif is super!
Confirm: After executing
Thus no extra code for Fatdog.

@SFR: Thanks for your help! @L18L: If it wasn't for your question about dragging, I would have never realized there's a need for explaining this. I thought it was obvious... So thanks for asking. In fact the only good way to explain is how SFR did it, with an animated gif. I will add a gif like that to the help page. I just made my very first animated gif, with Take A Shot, a great tool made by ...SFR! Thanks again to both of you.

Before switching to Tahr there are 2 items to fine-tune: Tray icon menu items About wget-help should be also gettexted. I get my help in German. Thus "help" should be translatable. But text in an image 
--image="$WORKDIR/pwget-about.png" Maybe changing to svg is the way to go. Don't ask me how. It is not my domain. I am sure you find it out.

Hi L18L, yes indeed, gettexting is not yet complete. That's one of the reasons this is still a test-version. Things will likely still change here and there, so better to wait with the gettexting. When final version is ready, everything will be gettexted. I promise
That was my way of cheating around the problem
It's not an elegant solution, I know. But at least it gives the user a nice icon above a piece of boring info. If every user would have the latest yad version, with the html function working, problem would be solved by making "About" a small html file. Or...would yad be able to display a md file? That is your domain.
Or I could drop "About" altogether, was just mimicking the big boys. _________________

Experimenting, please wait... Bert, you put the fun back to coding.
See image and continue experimenting with your domain yad --html.

Nice tool, thanks. Perhaps writing "Drag LINKs here" instead of "Drag URLs here" would ease understanding. I concur that it would be neat to see the download queue as it builds drop after drop, or at least a count of the files being dropped. _________________ Fatdog64-802|+Packages|Kodi|Findnrun|+forum|gtkmenuplus |

Thank you L18L, that looks exciting... I will not pretend I understand your image: 1. I see two mdview commands, one piped to yad --html and one to yad --text-info 2. The dog we see is part of your wallpaper, right? 3. the yad dialog we see is the result of yad --text-info, right? (What did the first command produce?) So, yad can display a .md file in its raw source form, but not as the rich text md is intended to produce, even if mdview is installed? _________________

Thanks for the compliment, step. I agree, changing "URL(s)" to "LINK(s) would probably be easier to understand. I had thought about "File(s) instead of URLs, but that could probably confuse some people too. So, if nobody objects within the next 72 hours , I'll go with your proposal.
I'll think about the idea of a download queue made visible... Maybe an extra button, opening a list? Any ideas are always much appreciated
