FlashGot addon

[Anusha]

I added VisualWget to Firefox's FlashGot addon's list and it works
fine with the default settings.

But I have one problem. In the New Job, it doesn't put the default
path that I have specified in the "Default Download Properties"
window.

What could be the problem? I wish I don't have to specify where to
save the files each time, because I mostly download files in this
manner.

Currently, the Default Download Properties is used with an IE
Extension and a New Job dialog only.

For Firefox with FlashGot installed, you can use an arguments template
option in FlashGot. For example, to save file on your desktop, use "--
continue --directory-prefix=C:\DOCUME~1\Administrator\Desktop --
timestamping [URL]" (without quotes) as an arguments template
(replaced 'Administrator' with your Windows user name).

VisualWget supports all Wget's options that list in '--help' but only
accept the long form (e.g. '--continue' is the long form of '-c').

OK, I think this is cumbersome. I will fix this problem as soon as
possible so that you don't have to specify anything and the Default
Download Properties is used. Until the next release, please use the
above method to work around this problem.

Khomsan,
I've got another issue with Flashgot Addon & VisualWget regarding wget --output-document / vwget "Write documents to" parameter.

With FlashGot 1.3.0.1 (latest to date) I´ve got the following rule:
[ULIST] --timestamping --continue [--directory-prefix=FOLDER] [--output-document=FNAME] [--referer=REFERER] [--load-cookies=CFILE]

With this rule, when needed, --output-document gets FNAME from FlashGot automatically, for the filename.
With that, file is save as FNAME under default directory from wget (the wget binary directory), not what one would expect to be <FOLDER>\FNAME.
Unfortunately Flashgot doesn't accept --output-document=FOLDER\FNAME.

Would it be possible for wget/vwget to use the --directory-prefix parameter as --output-document directory prefix when full path is not given in FNAME?

Regards,
Plinio

And also you cannot use short option like -P.

But you use long option like --directory-prefix.

Hello Plinio,

This issue had already been fixed.

But it fix problem in case you're not using extra argument.

Extra argument has no problems though.

If you use extra argument to specify folder path,

you must not put space between path, and don't use quotes.

For example, --directory-prefix=C:\DOCUME~1\Administrator\Desktop

This use DOCUME~1 instead of Documents and Settings.

Hello Khomsan,
I've just tried integrating with FlashGot and I still see the issue
with the Default Download Properties not being used for an Command
Line Download (with extra arguments).
Any chance of that being corrected?

Hi Plinio,

Unfortunately, the --output-document may need the full path.
Or the default is wget directory.
I can't find the information on this in the manual.

Can Flashgot concates FOLDER and FNAME together?
Like [FOLDER][FNAME]?

Best Regards,
Khomsan

[Khomsan Phongphisansakun]

OK sorry you already say that Flashgot cannot do that.
Maybe we can fix vwget for that instead
.
I will dig more on this later.
Thank you.

Hi,

I've googling and found out that you can use...

--output-document=[FOLDER][FNAME] or maybe
--output-document=[FOLDER]/[FNAME]

instead of....

[--output-document=FNAME]

the different of this two is that, the [--output-document=FNAME]
will disappear when FNAME is empty or so I'm not sure.
