(Dolphin Service Menus)
Super simple context menu to download a URL in the current folder using wget. The download will start in a new konsole window so that you can monitor its progress. Works with KDE4 or KDE5 (need to download the corresponding file). The script can either download the last URL you copied in the clipboard, or an input kdialog window will open up for you to paste the URL (1 URL at a time is supported). Use cases: It's often that I have a few dolphin windows opened in different directories, and I need to download a file I found online into them (clipart for example). When I click the "Save as" context menu on my web browser and the browse window pops up, I feel so iritated that I need to browse for the correct path (sometimes might be long nested). Usually I just download everything on my desktop, then I cut the file and paste it in one of the already opened dolphin windows. Not anymore :D With this context menu, I just copy the link, right click in/on the dir where I want it to be downloaded and it's there :) Dependencies for the KDE 5 version: konsole, wget, xclip Dependencies for the KDE 4 version: konsole, wget How to install: 1. Download the file 2. In KDE4: cp wget.desktop $(kde4-config --localprefix)/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ In KDE5: cp wget.desktop ~/.local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/ 3.
