v1.0 (BIN)

Furx a simple desktop client for Linux dedicated to Furk.net. Through this program you can manage your account without using a web browser. You can add, download, edit and/or delete your files, active downloads and feed subscriptions.

  1. Install the dependencies:
    gambas3-gb-image, gambas3-gb-settings, gambas3-gb-desktop, gambas3-runtime, gambas3-gb-gtk, gambas3-gb-qt4, gambas3-gb-form, gambas3-gb-net, gambas3-gb-net-curl, gambas3-gb-web

    Note: gambas3-gb-qt4 is optional, install it only if you need the QT support for KDE.

  2. Download the package containing the binaries (BIN)
  3. Give the execution rights to the binary file:
    chmod +x Furx.gambas
  4. Run the binary file double-clicking on it or typing in a terminal:
    ./Furx.gambas

Unfortunately, due to some bugs in the Furk.net APIs the functions for creating new accounts and editing the parameters of feed subscriptions DON'T work currently.
I have already reported these bugs to Furk.net APIs maintainers so as soon as they fix them these functions should return to work.

You can report any bugs or issues, as well as suggestions for enhancements and proposals, using the project's official page on BitBucket.
