Thanks again to +everyone who makes it possible for me to work on something I care about +every day. + +---- + +Did some work on `git annex addurl` today. It had gotten broken in direct +mode (I think by an otherwise good and important bugfix). After fixing +that, I made it interoperate with the webapp. So if you have the webapp +open, it will display progress bars for downloads being run by `git annex +addurl`. + +This enhancement meshes nicely with a FlashGot script Andy +contributed, which lets you queue up downloads into your annex from a web +browser. Andy described how to set it up in +[[this_tip|tips/Using_Git-annex_as_a_web_browsing_assistant]]. + +(I also looked briefly into ways to intercept a drag and drop of a link +into the webapp and make it lauch a download for you. It doesn't seem that +browsers allow javascript to override their standard behavior of loading +links that are dropped into them. Probably good to prevent misuse, but it +would be nice here...) + +---- + +Also, I think I have fixed the progress bars displayed when downloading +a file from an encrypted remote. I did this by hooking up existing +download progress metering (that was only being used to display +a download percentage in the console) into the location log, so the +webapp can use it. So that was a *lot* easier than it could have been, +but still a pretty large patch (500+ lines). Haven't tested this; should work. |
