Qt Frontend.
Posted: May 10th, 2009, 11:53 am
I'm working on a PyQt4 frontend for SAB. I only just started a couple of days ago, so theres no code to share yet, but I do have a preliminary screenshot (attached).
My goal for this app is to be very unobtrusive. it will sit in the system tray and offer status information via a tooltip. double clicking the tray icon reveals the main window as seen in the screenshot which will show the entire Queue with progress bars and ETA's. It currently supports Drag & Drop of NZB Files which get upload to SAB via the API and begin downloading immediately. It will probably not cover ALL of the SAB Features, but will offer the basic queue management stuff. Its designed to run on a separate machine from SAB, using the API for all interactions. Its tentatively named SABGUI, but I have a feeling that has been used before, and I'm not very creative with names, so suggestions are welcome. I will post most information as the project develops. it currently has a home here: http://andre.liquidmm.com/projects/sabgui/ but there is no code available yet. I will probably post it up early next week when its a little more usable.
