AWebSave is a script to save anything viewed/played within AWeb.
This is version 2.0 (20-Sep-96) by Jeff Jangli.
Changes from 1.0
================
- Rewrote the whole thing.
- Added Localization.
- Added little error checking.
- AWebSave parameters have changed.
- When selecting a file you can now view first and than save,
or save immediately.
Credits (applies to version 1.0 - Rob Hockley)
=============================================
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 version 2.0 - Jeff Jangli
======================================
1) Create the directory: AWEB-II:Plugins/AWebSave
2) Copy AWebSave and AWebSave.DOC to this directory.
Make sure the "s(cript)" protection bit is set for AWebSave.
If this is not the case than type from cli/shell: PROTECT AWEBSAVE +S
Configuration
=============
1) For full localization you will have to edit the script.
All text strings are in Dutch as default, strings to be modified
begin with 'SETENV ...'
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 (assuming you've followed installation step 1 and 2):
AWEB-II:Plugins/AWebSave/AWebSave
You can use this script for all different MIME types.
It would ofcourse be smart to you use a viewer that works with
datatypes as MultiView does.
3) Complete the "Arguments" according to the following template:
[FILENAME] [PUBSCREENNAME] [VIEWER] [DOWNLOADDIR]
I use MultiView which is located in my SUPP: directory while DL:
is my default download directory. So my template would be:
%s %s SUPP:MultiView DL:
The first two "%s" are filled in by AWeb and are parsed by AWebSave.
4) Jump to line 103 and change the PUBSCREEN parameter for your viewer
if you don't use MultiView. If you use more parameters with your
viewer than this is a good place to add them.
Usage
=====
Start AWeb and click on something to view/play. After you've selected
a file by clicking on it, a requester will pop up where you can:
[A]: Use an external program for viewing/playing.
[B]: Save file to disk.
[C]: Abort AWebSave.
Selecting [A] launches the program you've specified in the [VIEWER] template.
Selecting [B] will display a standard file requester where you can type
in the directory- and filename to save the file under.
Selecting [C] will abort AWebSave allowing you to carry on with
your AWeb session.
Final word
===========
This script is FREEWARE, but I retain the copyright for version 2.0
and up if released by me.
