pWget-0.9.4 Subject description: A new pw(s)get - download manager |
|
March 29 2015 update: pWget-0.9.1
Hi All,
This is mainly a bug-fix update, with some improvements:
- Overriding the default destination folder from start window works again.
- Tool-tip style added to start window
- Missing .desktop file added
- Better handling of URLs that end with "/download"
- Multi_download improved.
- changed from terminal rxvt to urxvt
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
March 2015 update
Hi Puppies,
After over a year since the last version, I'm happy to announce a new one: pWget-0.9.
Many changes...it's almost starting to look like a real program
What has changed:
- option download mode: terminal, silent (progressbar) or multi_download
- 'keep terminal open' is now an option
- option dark terminal
- option standby mode
- wget editor
- integrated wget help
- export/backup preferences
- no more xdialog
- buttons linking to wget manual, pWget-help page, this forum thread
- Pwget has become pWget
I'm trying to avoid making this a very long forum post, so if you would like to know more, see this little online pWget page (which is the page opening when clicking the "help" button in pWget)
Downloading pWget-0.9: see towards bottom of this post.
Also uploaded: the Dutch translation file for pWget-0.9.
I'm very curious to read your opinions about this new version!
Bye,
Bert
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2014-01-09: update: version 0.8.2
Hi all,
Just a small bug-fix upgrade.
I added a missing icon and added the text-domain to Preferences (yes, managed to forget that )
I'll also post the Dutch translation file here, as a pet.
Happy downloading
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2013-12-06 update: new version: 0.8
Hi all,
Pwget 0.8 : improvements:
Preferences are now set from within Pwget. No longer using the text editor.
Windows resizable.
Clear-button for URL-entry field.
When the Preferences-button is clicked, this window appears:
which is much more user friendly than my former solution.
The changes you make are immediately available in the open pwget main window, no need to refresh or restart.
Resizable windows: Sometimes there's a need to see the whole URL at a glance, especially with long or cryptic URLs. Instead of the slow and boring scrolling in the entry field, just grab the right or left border and pull the window width out. Like this:
And finally, the URL entry field deserved its own 'Clear'-button
Hope you like the changes!
Bert
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2013-12-01: New version: 0.7
Some small internal changes, but the main change is L18L's contribution: now the terminal remains open when the download is finished, enabling to see what wget has done and to check for eventual error messages.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi all,
Here's my attempt at making pwsget a better and nicer utility.
After happily using pwsget for several years now, I knew exactly what I wanted to change
This is what I did:
New layout, more intuitive, more inviting
Wider entry fields
Download-button instead of OK-button
Tooltips for entry-fields and buttons
Enable the ENTER key as alternative to clicking the Download button
'Login' and 'Password' removed (didn't work + no need + caused bug (2 rox windows))
Added a Preferences button, thus enabling:
1 preset the download location (dir/folder)
2 choose your preferred terminal
3 choose your preferred file manager
4 change the wget-arguments the way you want
It looks like this:
(I forgot to change the locale for the screenshot...that button "Annuleren" is Dutch and will of course be "Cancel" with an English locale.)
This Pwget, with a destination pre-set, is now a very fast way to download: just paste the URL and hit Enter! Faster than wget in terminal
The freedom to choose another terminal than rxvt and another filemanager than rox, also means pwget will be usable in Puppy's that do not have rox or rxvt.
Bye.

Pwget-0.6 |

Hi Bert,
I have always directly used wget because it not display any errors and thus not translated original pwget.
But here is my contribution to your version:
Code: | IFS=$I
#if [ $EXIT = Download ]
if [ $EXIT = "$(gettext 'Download')" ]
then
#`cat /usr/local/pwget/PREF/terminal` -e `cat /usr/local/pwget/PREF/wget-arguments` "$DEST" $SOURCE
`cat /usr/local/pwget/PREF/terminal` --hold -e `cat /usr/local/pwget/PREF/wget-arguments` "$DEST" $SOURCE
`cat /usr/local/pwget/PREF/file-manager` "$DEST"
fi | The --hold will will let the xterm opened so you can see what wget is doing.

Hi L18L,
That's a great contribution! Thank you very much.
Added to Pwget 0.7
Also thanks for the german translation. You're a turbo translator!
Sieht gut aus:
I had to make a small change in my gettext for the info-button-tooltip: now only the word 'info' is gettexted, instead of the whole tooltip. I corrected your translation file for this, attached here. (btw and off-topic, is the 'language' setting in the header of your translation a little insiders' joke, or an error?)
Speaking about languages: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUeTn8FbupE
I'm going to upload the new version now.
Thanks again!
(edited because the link to youtube was broken )

I was wondering where the de_BE came from
If I understand this correctly, only about 70.000 people will be able to enjoy your German translation, all of them Belgian
Or did you set transLANG=de_BE?

I did the translation in Fatdog.
There I did forget to edit preferences.
Thus transLANG stayed in default de_BE (one of my locales is de_BE.UTF8)
Why de_BE?
Why not? Maybe as test for the 70000
I heared your new king also speaking German this year....
language=de_BE is just a comment.
What counts is: in which langpack this file will be:
It will be in langpack_de and not in (maybe never existing) langpack_de_BE
Thanks for asking
I will have to check my Fatdog work......

Ah, that clears up my misunderstanding.
I always thought a "de_BE" translation would not be readable in a "de" or "de_DE" or "de_AU" langpack.
Thanks for explaining. I no longer have to worry about "nl_BE" files getting into my "nl" langpack ! (something Momanager does)
Have a nice evening!

Just a quick note for Lx fans:
LxTerminal is the only terminal that refuses to run with the new "-hold" parameter (that keeps the terminal open after a download)
This is easily solved by entering "lxterminal -t " in preferences>terminal.
Unfortunately it then just ignores the "-hold" and closes as soon as the download is finished.
The "-t" solution is also mentioned in Pwget's terminal-help-window.
Any LXDE guru out there able to point me to docs or manpages? It's amazing how little there is to be found with a search engine.

What... No progress bar.?
Most web stuff has them, but it`s not terribly important I`ll agree.

Hi sunburnt,
I've been following your progress bar thread with much interest!
I did not participate (lucky you ), mainly because that discussion so far has been between experienced coders/developers. I'm just an amateur, eager to learn something new...
I looked at the progress bar examples and even considered to include the yad example by sfs, but it suddenly dawned on me that would be regress rather than progress :
The "old" pwsget always had a ' progress bar', while wget is running in the terminal. Any alternative seems like a regression to me. I don't think the user would be helped by a progress bar that merely acts like a splash screen, hiding all other useful information.
That's why I've always liked Pwsget, despite of it being far from perfect, it is a very simple but honest tool , doing the job and showing what's happening. ( I presume that's also why Barry included it in many generations of Puppy.)
So, Pwget has a (I agree, not very sexy) progress bar, but it's accurate and doesn't hide what else is going on.
Xdialog has been a real struggle for me! It feels like a medieval system, or even worse: something from the 1980's I can see the potential: creating really light-weight and fast interfaces, but its behaviour is abysmal! It also feels like a long abandoned project, but I could be wrong...
Thanks for taking the time to post here! I'll keep following your fascinating progress bar/xdialog thread!

I`ve gotten fairly use to Xdialog, but it`s so damn ugly.! And Yad just gives me fits...
Yes, I agree if you`re running wget in a VT, then it already has a progress bar being shown.

Pwget-0.8.2 Subject description: quotes for asterixes |
|
if you want you display the quotes as quotes you could use backticks:
Code: | <button><input file>/usr/local/pwget/icons/help-browser24.png</input>
<action>`Xdialog --wrap --screencenter --left --title "'$(gettext 'Pwget - wget-arguments - Help')'" --msgbox "'`gettext 'This allows fine-tuning wget. \n\nFor most downloading tasks the default (wget -c -P ) is usually adequate.\n\nFor more info type \"wget -h\" in a terminal (without the quotes).'`'" 470x0`</action>
</button> |
But Help is very nice.

Ah, I knew there had to be a way to display quotes in Xdialog...but could not find it!
Thanks L18L, will be corrected in next version
