Study Guide Downloader

The Study Guide Downloader is used to download a correctly formatted XML study guide from the study guide server and save it to the /xml directory in the project folder. It utilizes functions from the gblxml.py file which contains all necessary functions for dealing with XML.

When the "Download" option is selected from the GUI, a list of all XML files on the server are displayed. Choosing one will cause the system to attempt the download; a notification will be displayed to let the user know if the download was successful. Reasons for failure include server downtime and a lack of internet access on the client's machine. Upon success, the chosen XML file will appear in the /xml directory and in the Study Guide Loader list. Note that a successful download does not imply that the guide will be successfully loaded with the Study Guide Loader.
