Whenever you watch a flash video in your browser, the entire video is buffered to your hard drive, and stored in a temporary folder. You can then make a copy of the flash video by browsing through your temp folder manually, but Blake has automated this with a shell script that prompts you for a friendly name, and then automatically saves the video to your ~/Videos folder.
To re-create this for yourself, create a new shell script and paste in the following:
CODE
#!/bin/bash
name=$(/usr/bin/zenity --entry --title="Name your Video" --height=100 --width=300 --text="Please name your video ")
cp /tmp/Fla* ~/Videos/"$name"
name=$(/usr/bin/zenity --entry --title="Name your Video" --height=100 --width=300 --text="Please name your video ")
cp /tmp/Fla* ~/Videos/"$name"
Then you'll need to set the script as executable with the chmod command, adjusting for the name of your script:
CODE
sudo chmod 755 SaveFlashVideo.sh
Once you've completed these steps, just create a new launcher for your Gnome panel—and clicking it should display the dialog in the screenshot.
