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
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.
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:
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.
