DotPup Handler 0.0.2

(the script that runs when you click a dotpup)

To uninstall, click this dotpup again

minor modifications to version 0.0.1:

I added Always, Never buttons, so you can configure it to run in quiet mode, like Lobster's DotPup Handler

it saves the config options in /etc/dotpup/

i removed -geometry when calling xmessage, gxmessage

there might be bugs, but it seems to work ok

One of the things I notice (I think with this version too) is dotpups are saved in wherever I last saved a file - which could be nearly anywhere . . .

So I have to hunt them out
A sensible default download location might be my-roxapps or my-applications? Is that a reasonable possibility? Then I know where they are - or perhaps when the dotpup is downloading it could tell me where it is off too . . . or offer to go there and install?

Just some thoughts

Thanks for the explanation
I rarely look for causes . . . just report the experience. I do use Mozilla - maybe the default download can be changed - adoption of the Dotpup_Downloader would also bypass this experience . . .

Thanks again
