Still like this interface.
btw, I have to add extra parameters like

wget --no-check-certificate -c -P

to download easy from dropbox and copy.com and

Code: Select all

rxvt -fg white -bg black

because i'm old and like the terminal in dark colors.
Cheers.

Thank you very much for the Spanish translation Nilson!

I'm very sorry for this late reaction. I've been away from the forum for several months, due to health issues.

Nice work:

I'll add your translation file to the first post.

Thanks again,
Bert

Hi all,

Finally, a new version available:
pWget-0.9.

What's new?

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

See the first post in this thread for details and downloading.

EDIT : In reality, the pWget window is much smaller than the screen print below! I don't know why this magnifying happens...

Hi Bert,

here is German translation for your pwget version 0.9
sorry for the delay.

EDIT : In reality, the pWget window is much smaller than the screen print below! I don't know why this magnifying happens...

My pWget window has exactly the same width...

Finally, what took you so long?

I've heard you're holidaying in Cyrillic Serbia, but that's no excuse...

Just kidding of course.
Thank you very much for the German translation L18L!!!

Strange, this is the difference I see on my 1920 x 1080 screen:

I can of course make the forum image as small as the "real" (Cntrl -), but then the forum text becomes too small to read. Maybe need something better than €10,- reading glasses

EDIT: But compare the screenshot two post above with the biggest pWget window in this post: the latter is screenshot of the first...

Anyway, thanks again. Much appreciated!

Not strange, just the same preferences

I have b een playing with Preferences....

Seamonkey
Edit
Preferences

Seamonkey Browser

Zoom

Content > Nur Text anstatt ganzer Seiten zoomen ticked

Text-Zoom

Bye

PS
A link in the localization section could get you some more translations...

That's a neat little trick. Never saw it before.

BTW, in Seamonkey it's: Preferences > Appearance > Content > "Zoom only text instead of full pages."

Firefox does not seem to have this option. At least I couldn't find it...

But it doesn't solve the magnifying problem...my last image is a screenshot taken from the one before (Feb 20)
Screeny and MtPaint can't be the culprit, as it has normal width in MtPaint. So maybe something the forum software does

Thanks.

Thanks. My Seamonkey is running in German language only and has no Quicklocaleswitcher, so I had to guess the English words...

Now in Fatdog700 I have installed Firefox-36.0 automagically in German language (sorry, no ad intended

) gave help about Preferences:

https://support.mozilla.org/nl/kb/lette ... -vergroten

But it doesn't solve the magnifying problem...

Let us hope for help from nice forum members.

Thank you! This option is only visible when the menu-bar is enabled (ticked). For some reason the menu button (in recent FF) does not have everything the menu-bar has.
(My menu-bar was disabled, to save some screen height.)

Yes, maybe in another thread?
We've gone completely off-topic in this thread...luckily it's "mine"

and I am the cause of this derailing.
Sorry guys, back on topic now

Thanks again L18L!

Some titles say it all

All translations will be published here.

Posted: **Wed 18 Mar 2015, 11:31**

Italian translation added.

Oops, the pWget.desktop file is missing from pWget-0.9.

Apologies.

That means there's no menu entry for pWget.. (unless you've been using an older version before)
Here's a stop-gap solution, the attached PET.
It will install the missing file and nothing else.

Meanwhile I found some small, but irritating bugs in pWget.
A bug-fix update, with some new improvements, will follow soon...(working on it now

)

Posted: **Sun 29 Mar 2015, 14:15**

New version uploaded: pWget-0.9.1.
For downloading please see the first post.
Changes:
* 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

Some sites have the -bad- habit of appending "/download" to the URL. An example: "http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzi ... z/download"
This is a nuisance as the downloaded file will be called "download" in stead of the file name "7z938-src.7z"

Using the terminal, pWget has solved this 100%:

Not only is the correct file name displayed in the title bar, the file is also saved with its proper name:

in stead of

In silent mode the file is also downloaded with its correct name showing in the destination folder, but the progress bar looks like this:

That's the best I could get for now

Multi_download will not handle these ugly URLs, all of them will be downloaded with the name "download". Imagine having eight files in your dest folder, all called "download" : a hilarious situation, or a dramatic one, depending on your mood

I hope I will be able to solve this somewhere in the future.
For now, in Multi, just remove the "/download" from the URL(s), before hitting the "Download" (or Enter) button.

Bye-bye,
Bert

(PS. Note for translators: the .pot file hasn't changed going from v.0.9 to v.0.9.1 )

I got a question from someone who liked the gtk theme I'm personally using and wanted to know what theme it is.

The theme is called 23oz.
I forgot its origins...it has been in my collection for years.

I've attached it here, in case more people are interested.
See thepWget help page for 23oz screenshots.

How to install
* After downloading, click the 23oz.tar.gz
* Select everything
* Unpack
* Move or copy the created folder to /usr/share/themes
* open the Menu > Desktop > Chtheme theme chooser
* highlight 23oz, click "Apply" button and "OK" button.

Hi all,

i'm happy to announce a new pWget!

I restarted from scratch and used YAD in stead of gtkdialog.
The result is a light-weight, fast and easy downloader.

This version 0.9.4 is a test version and will become 0.9.5 when everything is proven okay. So i will not post 0.9.4 in the first post.

A short presentation can be found here.

The minimal yad version on your system must be yad 0.26.0
It will work in older versions, but it'll look very, very ugly...
To check this, type this in a terminal:

Code: Select all

yad --version

EDIT Oct.17: Please see next post for the updated version!
Bert

A small update:

xterm replaced by urxvt
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)

pWget

Bert wrote:0.9.5 will be perfect

I hope so, too.

Testing 0.9.4.1 in Fatdog64-701.

Code: Select all

# yad --version
0.31.0 (GTK+ 2.24.27)
#

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!

L18L wrote:My problem is: I have no idea how to "Drag URL(s) here"

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.

Clicking Download produces an empty page, an error message would be much nicer.

I just checked pWget in Fatdog. For me downloading works as it should.
The only difference is Fatdog doesn't seem to understand

Code: Select all

xdg-open $DEST

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

Bert wrote:I know you know how to drag So what can be the problem...

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. ... 1&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

this textfile named URL wrote:http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 1&start=30

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.

You can add non-existing folders on-the-fly and they will be created.

Not with me. There is no mkdir in the script.

I just checked pWget in Fatdog. For me downloading works as it should.

Code: Select all
xdg-open $DEST

xdg-open --help wrote:xdg-open opens a file or URL in the user's preferred application.
If a URL is provided the URL will be opened in the user's preferred web browser.
If a file is provided the file will be opened in the preferred application for files of that type.
xdg-open supports file, ftp, http and https URLs.

More fine-tuning to do

Agreed.

EDIT fd uses spot for internet ....

Just a little bit nicer is this loop until not blanc:

until [ "$DL" ] ; do
     DL=$(yad ... )
done
