Yes, I use them. For me they are an important part of what spring is.

To me widgetmanager just shows an empty white window, with no widgets shown at all. Do you just extract it to your spring folder?

Edit: read the help menu. Do I need to get springdownloader too from somewhere, or is that just the old name of this app?

Feature request:
* commandline switch to specify writable data folder (where luaui/configs are and where widgets are to be written)

(for integration with ZKL - it uses multiple engine copies and one common folder for data that can be changed by user).

I tried to edit the config.xml, but it had no effect. The default one was restored on restart. Same if you edit the settings within the app.

Sorry guys, due to lack of interest I pretty much stopped all spring related development.

Licho, if you really feel that this feature would be useful for you I will dig that project out and implement it.

@Jools:
Running it in your spring folder should be fine. I just tested it and it works for me. No idea whats the problem in your case :/. Did it auto-update to latest version? Should be 1.1.1.0.
Also which OS are you using?

Oh wait its thread necromancy,i thought its a constantly updated version of the widget downloader from zkl..
