btdownloadcurses.py + service menus
Hi there,
I'm running mdk10 with KDE and here's basically what i want to do: right-click on a .torrent file and be able to open a konsole and run it with btdownloadcurses.py. Would also be nice if there would be a prompt to ask for --max_upload_rate . I have tried to figure out how to add service menus with this LINK and have come up with this: create a .desktop file with this inside: [Desktop Entry] Actions=OpenBTfile [Desktop Action OpenBTfile] Name=Open Torrent Icon=/usr/....blah blah/bt.png Exec=btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate 60 %u Questons: 1- would it be easier to set up a script (i'm a real newbie and don't have a clue how that would work) to run btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate 60 %u and associate the script with .torrent files so the normal left-clicking would work?? 2- If in fact i do run (using one of the above ways) btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate 60 %u, will this leave the konsole window open so that i see the progress or will it run background? 3- Is there an easy way to get prompted for upload speed so that i can throttle the downloads according to how many downloads i'm doing? or should i edit the service menu to put a sub-menu with 3 or so different actions all doing the same thing but with say: 60, 40 and 20 max upload rate? 4- If I would like to use KDocker and dock it all at the same time i open it, I guess i would have to launch the konsole in the Exec line of the .desktop file right? If so the line would look like: Exec=/bin/konsole <MY COMMANDS HERE> but how would i separate the commands?? would it be: /bin/konsole btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate 60 %u ; kdocker konsole ??????????? I'm really crap at all this and would definitely appreciate any help you people can offer me. Thanx a lot! Vince Montreal,Canada |
Are you using Konqueror as your browser?
I imagine a little script would be easy to write to do this. |
konqueror in kde 3.2.3
Konqueror in kde 3.2.3
that's what i'm using I guess a simple script would do.. but i'm still not sure how to add to the right-click.. the ones i did didn't work... I downloaded some .desktop files just to see how they were made.. and it looked pretty much like the ones i did.. Anyways.. I guess i can manage.. it shouldn't too hard Thanx |
