Felt like spending my birthday working on git-annex. 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.
