AWebSave - Version 1 (and probably the last !!!)
Credits
=======
This script owes it's existance to a similar effort, caller "MosaicSave",
written by Stuart Toll to achieve the same aims with AMosaic.
I've simply hacked the script a bit and added opions for users to specify
the public screen that AWeb runs on and the default drawer to save your
files into.
I also need to thank Terrence Boyes and Angus Manwaring for their help in
modifying Stuart's original script.
Installation
============
Very easy this :)
Put it wherever you like (my suggestion is SYS:S but anywhere will do !).
Make sure the protection it for AWebSave is set to "script" !!!
Configuration
=============
1 - Modify two lines in the actual script itself.
a - Change the "AWeb" entry in the ".def screen" line to the name of
the public screen you run AWeb from. The screen name is CASE-
SENSITIVE (well, it is on my system !!!)
b - Change the "Data:Comms/" entry in the ".def Drawer" line to where
you want your saved files to be stored. You must end this entry
with either a ":" or a "/" !!!!!!
2 - In AWeb's preferences for "MIME types and external viewers", for any
type of file you wish to save (e.g Image/*, Audio/*, Video/*), set the
"Command" line to "path/AWebSave viewer=path/viewer"
E.G - For setting up to save images after viewing, you could use...
"SYS:s/AWebSave viewer=SYS:Utilities/Multiview"
Obviously, you can use any viewer, player, etc you want and by
specifing the viewer on the command line, you can use the "AWebSave"
script for all different MIME types.
Complete the "Arguments" area of AWeb as normal.
Usage
=====
Just load AWeb and find something to view / play. After this has been
done, a requester will pop up asking if you want to save the file.
Selecting "No" will allow you to carry on with your AWeb session. Selecting
"Yes" will display a standard file requester for you to type in the name
to save the file under.
That's about it !!!
The Final Bit !!!
=================
This script is total FREEWARE. Hack it around to your heart's content
(It's what I did to the original !!!).....
BUT !!!!!!
If for some mysterious reason, it causes Death, Destruction or Mayhem, it
wasn't my fault, OK :)
