short: A transfer gauge for downloading a file type: comm/misc author: Thomas@Igracki.de uploader: Thomas@Igracki.de version: 1.2 requires: MUI, Textinput.mcc / FSwatcher - FileSizeWatcher / ============================== What for is it? If you download a file with a program which doesn't have a transfer- window showing the current filesize, bps, time togo etc. you should try FSwatcher. Detailed description: --------------------- It opens a small window where you have to specify the filename and the filesize. Then press "Start" and the window changes to the gauge, where the current size in bytes, the bytes transfered per second, the time since the file was created and the approx. time it takes to transfer the whole file. Under the gauge is also a percentage scale. You can also drop a file from a workbench window or dopus lister anywhere into the window to specify the filename. If the comment of the filename is set to a number, it will be used as the total filesize (in bytes). Also if you press the "Start!" button without specifying a filesize (-> the "Size:" gadgets contents is "0"), the filesize is read from the comment of the file. Or you specify the filename and the filesize (if the filename didn't have its comment set to the filesize) at startup. The values are updated every 3 seconds. When the transfer it finished a requester pops up, saying its finished;-) You can disable the requester by specifying the shell argument AUTOEXIT at startup, the program then quits automatically after a download is finished. Hint: You can click on the gauge to get back to the settings page of the window. Hint #2: The values of the "Name" and "Size" Gadgets are saved after quiting the programm in the env and envarc. Usage: Name=FileName,Size=FileSize/N,AUTOEXIT/S
