[Feature Request] Progress widget #36

Open narcolepticinsomniac opened 6 years ago

narcolepticinsomniac commented 6 years ago

First off, thanks for maintaining this project, it's pretty great.

The new FDM sucks, and the old one is buggy and support is terrible, which is why I finally settled on Uget. The only thing I really miss is the progress widget for active downloads.

I realize this request is beyond the functionality this extension/program aims to provide, but I checked the Uget forum and it has already been requested and ignored. Since the integration program interacts with Uget, I figured I'd take a shot and request it here.

Hi, What do you mean by progress widget?

narcolepticinsomniac commented 6 years ago

When there are active downloads, a little widget pops up above the system tray with all the progress info, like all the info in the tooltip when the systray icon is hovered. It's resizable/draggable/dismissable. Ideally, one without a system titlebar that could be positioned over the taskbar would be the best, but any little widget would be cool.

It requires support from uGet. I integrate uGet with the extension through command-line arguments. Until there is an API provided by uGet, I cannot add this feature.

It can be done through aria2 also Like ariaNG does. Just mentioning it.

slgobinath commented 6 years ago

I think it should be possible, However, I find two issues with that:

  1. uGet extension/integrator should integrate with uGet, not with aria2 otherwise we will have nothing to show with curl plugin
  2. It adds extra complexity to the addon. If uGet developer prefers to add this feature, I hope it will be easier than having it here.

Let Micheal to decide on this

@DanaMW Watching all the good projects, huh?

Well, at least it seems technically possible, and I appreciate you considering it. Of course it'd be better if Uget implemented it, but it's a fairly common feature in DL Managers. If they haven't by now, I'm not overly-optimistic. I can try my luck requesting it if there's a better place to do that than the forum. As I mentioned, there's a similar request from a year ago with no response.

Yes sir, He is way up on my list. Real nice guy. :)

slgobinath commented 6 years ago

@MichaelTunnell can you help on this?

narcolepticinsomniac commented 6 years ago

I did try to register in the forum btw, but registration seems broken.

narcolepticinsomniac commented 6 years ago

Off topic, but IDK who/where else to ask. Any idea why the ability to change a download's position in the list is always disabled? Win 8.1.

I asked DanaMW, and he says he sees the same in Win 10.

Edit: Better pic.

@MichaelTunnell How long do you intend to leave the forum registration broken?

Been at least a couple months now, and it's still useless. Is uGet even actively developed anymore?
