A couple things have come up that need to go in winget's functional spec.
Paul Victor Novarese would like it to act like WinURL, another Simon Tatham product (cf putty), in that when single-clicked it'll reconstitute an URL from the clipboard and enqueue (or fetch) it. This seems reasonable enough to me--though I think it would merely pop up the Get dialog with the URL field prefilled with the reconstituted URL. WinURL is MITed, so ideally I could reuse some code from it, but since wget is GPLed, I'd have to look/think/read some.
I point out the "enqueue (or fetch)" I said to bring up another trouble: I can see a case for both, which says to me preference, but there's no general preferences dialog. Should there be?
There are also a few problems with Windows versioning. There are a few features and bits that'd be nice to have, but are only 2000/XP. I'm not sure how possible it'd be to have one version of the program have those features but degrade gracefully for 9x.
One of those features is, since I was tinkering when Windows Update reminded me of that java update I've still not fetched, it'd be neat to have a bubble tip pop up when your downloads complete. So, I dunno.
Also, I realize now I left an "Exit" option off the context menu. There should be one, maybe even instead of the "Help" option. Not sure. Any suggestions for 'r agin'?
