CommandGUI

This is a cross-platform (tested on Windows and Ubuntu) app which allows you to create graphical wrappers for complicated command line programs. Google the command line options once, instead of every time you have to use the program!

The program looks like this:

In order to get this graphical wrapper for wget, all I had to do was feed CommandGUI this JSON file:

{
    "name": "wget",
    "templateString": "wget %recursive%[-r] %noparent%[-np] %norobots%[-e robots=off]\
                %user%[--user=%user%] %password%[--password=%password%]\
                %outdir%[-P \"%outdir%\"]\
                %cut%[-nH --cut-dirs=%cut%]\
                %url%",
    "variables": [
        {
            "name": "url",
            "label": "URL",
            "type": "string"
        },
        {
            "name": "user",
            "label": "Username",
            "type": "string"
        },
        {
            "name": "password",
            "label": "Password",
            "type": "string"
        },
        {
            "name": "recursive",
            "label": "Recursive",
            "type": "boolean"
        },
        {
            "name": "noparent",
            "label": "No parent",
            "type": "boolean",
            "default": true
        },
        {
            "name": "norobots",
            "label": "Ignore robots.txt",
            "type": "boolean"
        },
        {
            "name": "outdir",
            "label": "Output directory",
            "type": "folder",
            "default": "/home/jack/Downloads"
        },
        {
            "name": "cut",
            "label": "Cut dirs",
            "type": "string"
        }
    ]
}

Building

Qt

To build for Qt, enter the build/qt directory and run qmake followed by make. The Qt frontend is in the process of being abandoned and may not be fully tested.

GTK

To build for GTK, enter the build/gtk directory and run make.
