Well, doh.
That's a way to fix it as well I guess. :)
I tried fixing up the regular-expression to exclude the part after the decimal-point, but that just ended up making it even more ugly and led to even more problems (damn I wish the js-plasmoid-api had a xml-parser).
I like your fix better. :) I'll upload a new version shortly. - May 30 2010

Ah nice to see someone else stepped up to fix my plasmoid. ty :)
Yeah I realized that it was broken for some cases, and had fixed some of them locally for me already, but I didn't want to push out a new version before I had fixed them all.
I'll give your version a try and see if everything's fixed. - May 30 2010

Uhm... yeah, I think Javascript-Plasmoids are only supported in KDE 4.4 or newer. - Apr 08 2010

Am I the only one who doesn't understand what this thing actually does? - Apr 27 2010

Why don't you just use a wildcat? i.e. :
if [ ! -d plasma-dataengine-publictransport-* ]
I don't see a reason for this not to work. - Apr 02 2010

Great plasmoid, but the install.sh in the source-tarball is outdated, so you'll always get "Data engine directory not found!" when you run it.
A simple
sed -i s/\.7/\.8\.1/g install.sh
fixes that.
And if you're like me and prefer su over sudo, you can make it use su -c with another
sed -i s/sudo\ make\ install/su\ -c\ \"make\ install\"/g */install.sh - Apr 02 2010

I've written a patch that adds jeff's news as additionalText/Tooltip. Don't know if anyone else than me is interested in this, but I figure posting it here doesn't hurt. :p

http://jjorge.free.fr/divers/transcogg works like a charm for me, thanks. :D - Feb 20 2008

I'm loving your Script, but there's a little bug concernig "umlauts". When the name of/the path to the file contain a umlaut like Ä, Ö, Ü (only tested Ä but I have no doubt it also applies to others) and letters with a `, °, ... ontop of the it can't be transcogged.
I'd be very glad if you could fix this. :) - Jan 22 2008
