hi, i'm trying to find the file menu but i didn't succeed.  what i found was this;

/home/tc/.wmx/SystemTools/AppBrowser

#!/bin/sh
exec appbrowser

and i change it to...
exec aterm -e appbrowser

when i tried it with the AppBrowser an aterm opens simultanuous
but only shows
'appbrowser

tce-load -w dillo2.tcz ( iwas trying to download dillo2 here)

no downloading is happening, am i doing something wrong here?

btw, i'm using the current version.

hello cast-fish,
it's working! i think the problem before is on dillo2.tcz which i am downloading.
 I tried to download another extension and it work!

try this;
open the editor, open file
/home/tc/.wmx/SystemTools/AppBrowser
edit ' exec appbrowser' to...
exec aterm -e appbrowser

that's it  :)

Hello

uh, non of this stuff worked for me.

Not sure why it doesn't work.

It would be handy to see a percentage bar as you download apps.

hmmm

I really haven't got any inclination to sort out any issues with wrapper scripts for the FLWM menu (as that does nothing for starting 'appbrowser' from WBAR). IMHO the simple "solution" is to essentially do the same more "manually": just open a shell (AKA a 'terminal') and start the application from that shell (i.e. execute appbrowser). All output (including the download progress bar) should show up in this shell.

OTOH as users actually also get to see the parameters used for 'tce-load' this way, they might chose to use this more "direct method" in the future (i.e. installation of extensions from the CLI). Needless to say that this is the way how I personally install extensions (pretty much exclusively).

thanks

i did exactly what was listed in this thread....but didn't see any percentage bar while downloading apps

It never occurred to me to start the Appbrowser tool from a terminal.

Now,after starting from a terminal, i see a percentage bar.

thanks
