Konfabulator Folding Status Widget Beta Test

edited August 2005 in Folding@Home
I've written a Konfabulator widget to track the status of the current F@H unit. Currently, it only supports one client - that's on my list of things to change.

When you first run it, it will tell you to set the unitinfo.txt location. Right click on the widget, go to preferences, and then browse to your folding folder and select the unitinfo.txt.

If you want to monitor multiple WUs, rename the widget, and run it again.

Future work:
Cooler completion % monitor
Multiple colors
(Better) Multiple client support

Please report any bugs/suggestions here. :)

Thanks.

Update in later post.

    Beta WUs should be on their stats page. Use this link instead. Its a comprehensive list of beta and normal WUs.

    bump - I have a newer version, if anyone's interested. It's still not done (you can do multiple clients, it just requires more widgets on the screen, rather than one (my final plans). It's unlikely that I'll get much further than what's done now for a while though. It's currently got an inner cog that becomes more complete as the wu completes. here's a shot of a partially done WU.

    You'll also probably notice that the WU name isn't showing up for this one. I have no idea why, but that happens every now + then. That's why it's a beta :)

    (rename the .zip to foldingmonitor.widget)

    Stealth update (7-24) because all I did was fix the name display problem and ensure that the protein points page shouldn't get hammered.

    I'd make a mac one for dashboard, but yeah - no mac :-P. I didn't use any windows specific code, so the konfabulator2 widget should work with a mac, if you're using konfabulator2.

    shwaip, email me the source code and I'll see if I can get it working on dashboard.

    Wow! Now that Konfabulator is FREE, this could become quite widespread! :D

    Everybody download konfabulator and test this thing! :thumbsup:

    New Future Plans:

    * Multiple client support within a single widget. Currently you can display several, if you just rename the widget.
    * Proper checking for networked drives. It works fine - as long as the networked computer is up - otherwise, it crashes the widget
    * Whatever people suggest. Within reason.

    edit-
    There will be a little lag on the first run of the widget - it's downloading and parsing a text file from stanford. After that, you shouldn't see it again.

    This is a really stupid question: How do I install it? :o

    I already have Konfabulator up and running.

    EDIT: Nevermind. :D
