Sub_title: Help!		  

Pwget is a simple front end to the wget utility
for Dingo (Puppy 4).
Well it would be if I could program.

Sadly I have all the programming prowess
of a bag of soggy chips, without the bag

Pwget is used for downloading larger files from the internet such as ISOs using the wget bash command. The files are verified during the download procedure. As ISO and other files are checked, they do not require a md5sum check

basically this is the command
Code:
wget -c -P$DEST $SOURCE



and this is the front end
Code:
#! /bin/bash

# Pwget created by Lobster Jan 2008 for Puppy Dingo and Linux Tmxxine GPL v3 License
# http://tmxxine.com

export Pwget='
<window title="Pwget - File downloader utility">
<vbox>
 <hbox>
  <text><label>Source URL</label></text>
  <entry accept="directory"><variable>SOURCE</variable><input>/tmp/pm_source_dir</input></entry>
  <button>
   <input file icon="gtk-paste"></input>
   <action type="fileselect">SOURCE</action>
   <action>refresh:SOURCE</action>
  </button>
 </hbox>
 <hbox>

   <action type="fileselect">DEST</action>
   <action>refresh:DEST</action>
  </button>
 </hbox>
 <hbox>
  <button help>
   <action>`Xdialog --wrap --screencenter --left --title "Pwget - HELP" --msgbox "Pwget is a simple front end to the wget utility.

  </button>
  <button cancel></button>
  <button ok></button>
 </hbox>
</vbox>
</window>'

gtkdialog3 --program Pwget
unset Pwget

wget -c -P$DEST $SOURCE


How do I get this working?

I=$IFS; IFS=""
for STATEMENTS in  $(gtkdialog3 --program=Pwget --center); do
   eval $STATEMENTS
done
IFS=$I
if [ $EXIT = OK ]; then
   wget -c -P"$DEST $SOURCE"
fi


Now it only executes if user press OK-button.

Many thanks Zigbert

This bit of code (near the bottom works - yours did not
but the rest of it is great Very Happy

Code:
exec wget -c -P $DEST $SOURCE

. . . so it works

I just hacked your pmirror util to get the code incidentally . . . Cool

The only other thing to get working (or remove)
is the paste button? Any thoughts on that?

So the code stands as

Code:
#! /bin/bash

Paste: What should be pasted. You can copy whatever, and paste it into url-field by ctrl+c. Maybe a better question is: What should happen when you press the paste-button.
Code:
exec wget -c -P $DEST $SOURCE
should be
Code:
exec wget -c -P "$DEST" $SOURCE
This to accept paths with spaces in name.

Happy coding Very Happy
Sigmund

PostPosted: Sun 06 Jan 2008, 18:31    Post_subject: Make it voice controllable and speaking  
Lobster... you know my feeling on this ...

Little apps like this should be made voice controllable (e.g. cvoicecontrol) and able to speak (e.g espeak) as well as having a good GUI and/or CUI. It is easier to build such facility into an app at the design stage. Your first non-working version is basically just a GUI, but your last version is already getting a bit more complex. I challenge you to make it work better for the visually impaired as well as for those with good vision! Smile

I'm sure you know how I'd do it if I were you, but my challenge is just a challenge: do it anyway you like!

The world of computing for the visually impaired would be a better place if their needs were taken into account at the design stage. It is very difficult to make, say Open Office or Microsoft Office friendly for the visually impaired; such apps have been designed for those who have good eyesight and coordination (icon/mouse-based interfaces with windows and written text).

I do realise that Dingo is unlikely to come with, for example, cvoicecontrol or espeak or similar by default, but these can be added as dotpets.

Lobster,
I'm curious about one thing. Did you try 'gCurl' in Dingo? This is a file downloader that uses libcurl. I've haven't tried it myself, just stuck it in Dingo as didn't have any other downloader.

Ah - I knew you had added an installer but could not remember what . . .
No I have not tried it.
Basically I was in Dingo, needed to download a recent PcLinuxOS to see if the wireless would work on my laptop (it did not incidentally)
Could not find the downloader (written in tcl by Ian) and rather than use the command line (a fate worse than death Rolling Eyes ) thought it would be easier to rewrite the util for Dingo.

Also works on Puppy 2.17 using the latest pwget version now. Here is the code if you want to tweak and include in Dingo

m m m . . .
here is me combing my whiskers in front of the mirror . . .


Not what you meant? Embarassed

. . . well maybe if someone turns this into a dotpet (and posts on additional software) I will consider that for a future update

(I know it is easy but could not find any info - there is some sort of "dir2pet" command) maybe it is not in 2.17 that I am using . . .

what i mean is there is a command line option to mirror a site

say dotpups.de/dotpups/Multimedia/

just that i forget which option it is right now...

it would download all the files at that address and with another option active it would ONLY update the downloaded files if needed

it mirrors a specifyed depth on the site or just one link deep if not specified i think would have to actually use it to be sure an i have linux incompatable modems Sad

wget -N -r -l number_of_levels
where number_of_levels is a number 0 or greater. 0 = infinite which is the same as mirror all.

Dotpup:
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Internet/Pwget.pup
mirror:
http://puppyfiles.ca/dotpupsde/dotpups/Internet/Pwget.pup

I made one change:
after the download, Rox-filer opens with the download-folder.

Lobster:
If you update, just drag /usr/local/bin/Pwget again on the dotpup-wizard.
