How to use iView (ABC Australia) downloaders

[Serena]

New here, well my first post but have been reading with much interest.

I'm having a problem with iView Downloader v15.80. Many of the files are coming up as "invalid selection"
Just wondering if its happening to anyone else.


Thanks for all your work


Oops sorry could someone please remove the first post, that was me but i meant to post with my name

Which ones specifically?

Hi Yanski

I've had a go at the firefox add on that you wrote. I'm using 10.6.4 OSX and everything up until the window to save the file worked fine - however, terminal came up with an error message :-

The file “b.command” could not be executed because you do not have appropriate access privileges.

Any thoughts? (I did type in the Snow Leopard Script into terminal that you had)

It looks like some work and some don't, ie Seven Ages of Britain
Luther
Collectors
The It Crowd get "invalid selection.

The Old Guys, 7.30 Report and some others work fine.

I'm not having any trouble with "The IT crowd" (See attached screencap). I'll have a look at the others and see if they mess up.

Nope. Everything working as expected (see attached screencap).

I don't know what it could be as none of the selection mechanism was touched in the transition to v15.80 - no reason to.

Thanks for trying
Its really weird , I've been happily using your previous versions without a problem.
Have tried clearing the download list and refreshing the cache.

You did overwrite the files in the your old "bin" directory with the new ones in the zip archive, didn't you?

I could make a batch file version for you so that I can see exactly where the message is coming up. I'd just alter the "Invalid selection" messages so that each one is unique and then you could just tell me which message you are getting. Do you want to try that?

I deleted all the old files and the folder and made a new folder.
I think I must have messed it up somehow though, or it would still be working lol.

Oh i don't want you to go to all that trouble, but thanks for the offer, really nice of you

Let me know how you go - I haven't tried to "schedule" it yet

Thanks Anywho! You are a legend!! This is going to help alot. Probably means I will get more sleep and not be so grumpy

There seems to be a small problem, (which I can easily live with).
When running the iView_Later batch file, it always fails to find/download the first file on the download_list.xml.

Have attached the log and list as text files.
No big drama if it cant be fixed though. I am quite stoked I have this now!!
