Description: Servicemenu for downloading with BitTorrent in a console tab. Version 1.1
This servicemenu starts a BitTorrent seed/download in a new tab in your currently running konsole instance.
Best way to understand how this works I think, is to look at the screenshots.
For this servicemenu to work you need to have konsole running (dont you always anyway? :-)). Konsole needs to be started with the "--script" option as this will enable extended DCOP functionality needed for this servicemenu. I have solved this by editing my kicker konsole icon to start konsole like this: "konsole --script".
You also need BitTorrent, Bram Cohens original implementation (Debian package: bittorrent)
Have included nice looking 16x16 BitTorrent icon in the package, credits to yemu. http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=13324
Installation: Copy bt_download_konsole.* to: ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus
Copy bittorrent.png to: ~/.kde/share/icons/crystalsvg/16x16/actions (or similar)
Configuration: Edit bt_download_konsole.conf to change what ports BitTorrent should use.
History: 1.1 Added configuration file to configure BitTorrent ports. Error message to user when a running Konsole instance is not found. Commented the script.
Every time I try to use this, it complains that it can't find kde-config. This is strange, because that program is in /opt/kde/bin with all of my other KDE executables. So, how do I make it stop complaining? I already tried adding the full path to the shell script, but it didn't help.
The only way I can reproduce this error on my machine is if i misplace/delete bt_download_konsole.sh. I have no idea why the error message says "Could not find `kde-config" when I do this, though.
Double-check that you put the files in the right place. Also what message did you get when you hardcoded the path to kde-konfig?
