Re: Re: BNR2, ubuntu & NZBs

Thanks Jeff,

Sounds promising... I am less interested in Windows
File-associations (otherwise I'd use Grabit) but I'm trying
to make the jump (leap) to Linux (Ubuntu).

Does Linux have any notion of file-extension association
these days?  I know the general UNIX principle is you can
call the file anything you like.  It seems to have
'application' association through Firefox's download
window.  I was wondering if this could be exploited in
BNR2?  Not sure how that would be implemented.

I was wondering if there may be simple way of doing that
between Firefox & BNR2.  Perhaps a Firefox Extension?

Utilities such as Grabit place all the downloads in the
same download folder with an intermediate dir for
partial-downloads.  These downloads are kept in dirs based
on the dld name (under a root dld dir).

This would be one small but useful addition to BNR so you
know a completed download is complete when it presents in
the dld complete dir.  (Not sure if this is how it works?)

In the meantime I will try selecting multiple NBZ files.  

Thx and keep up the good work - I love good GUIs, I hate
scripts! ;o)

Mike.
