Amule & Notify on Gnome

Written on Nov 28, 2008 // Open Source.

Just a quick tip to monitor download status and problems while using Amule. On Gnome, the program notify is used to show notifications on the desktop, for example evolution uses it for new messages alerts.

Amule does not support it natively but on its configuration panel it is possible to specify a custom command to launch on some events. For example, as you can see from below screenshots I set to launch the command

notify-send "Download Completato - %FILE"

when a Download finshes.

You can set other custom events obviously, like errors or chats, also using native amule variables like %FILE, which prints out the name of the file that determinated the event.
