I was wondering what the best way was to get an applet available for testing. I have a Youtube Download applet that lets you drag and drop youtube links and download them. You can save and load lists of URLs and stop/start the downloads. It is not perfect but I think it is at a point where it needs to be tested by others to get feedback on functionality and issues.

I have added it to my bzr:

Well, personally I always pushed a new applet to a new directory on cairo-dock-plugins-extras. That is what is suggested on our Wiki page help us with bzr. First, download the trunk branch, and then add your directory, tipically, named as your applet.

Thanks, I have already done that by following the bzr steps:

but I am not sure what to do now.

Now you could propose a merge on the trunk. Search for "Propose for merging" button.

Thanks, it is proposed.

I wasn't sure if I needed to propose the merge before it was tested or not.

I tested but I'd a few problems with it (just sorry but I don't have enough time to help you...). But if someone want to test it, simply download it there: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cairo-dock-team/cairo-dock-plug-ins-extras/YoutubeDl_merge/tarball/266

Matttbe,

I have made changes to fix errors and I almost have it converted over to use the newer CDApplet (not much documentation, a lot of trial and error). It was a long weekend here so I haven't done much for a few days now. Should have the changes done soon. Thanks for your help.

If there is no enough details about something on this wiki page (Documentation), feel free to report here which sections are not clear (or if it's possible, don't hesitate to add information)

It would be nice to add a flow like following: Left-click [Dialog box appers] -> Paste URL -> Enter [Download starts]
