use flashgot also in "open file" not just "save file"

[me]

Hi,
Thanks for your great app.
Is there any solution to use Flashgot's option also when I want to open a file (saving it in /tmp and later open it with some application)?
I'm using Flashgot with axel in GNU/Linux.
Thanks in advance.

Not understanding what you're trying to do?

Anyhow, I have two "downloaders" set up.

One that saves the found/selected links to a text file.
Another that opens a list of found/selected links directly into a text editor.

LinkedList:

Code: Select all

Exe:  XCOPY.EXE
Command line: [UFILE]C:\TMP\FlashGot_list.TXT

To FILE:

Code: Select all

Exe:  notepad.exe
Command line: [UFILE]

Thanks for your reply.

When you're going to some link that is downloadable (e.g. http://me.com/myfile.pdf), Firefox prompts you with some options. Options are "Open with", Flashgot and "save file". When I want to download something (save file option) I select Flashgot (actually axel, my download accelerator) and everything is fine.

The "Open with" option save the file in /tmp and open it with some application (for example adobe reader) as soon as it finishes the downloading.

I'm asking is it possible to force the "open with" option to use Flashgot's setup (i.e. axel) for saving the file in /tmp and then like the default procedure opens the file with suitable app?

Your idea about having multiple configurations with some changes in my script will do what I want, but is there a "clean" solution for this?
Thanks.
