#Seamonkey download manager windows#
GIMP's behavior of creating independent windows has annoyed people used to Photoshop's overlapped windows for years Fb itself has reduced the number of windows with tabbed browsing-there's something to be said for an app not taking up more than one window in the tray (you can only fit 4-5 windows down there before you start losing information, unless you have a multi-line taskbar). I'm willing to see your point, and say that there are some benefits for having the manager in its own spot (perhaps especially if you close Fb while downloading something). In fact I'm probably one of the people who would program the extension if it was easy to do by accessing the C++ back end (That was also documented). I don't care if it's an extension or not.
#Seamonkey download manager install#
If you can make it easy for a javascripter to create a crash resume function that I can install that's great. Right now it's more of what I would consider a "download history" then a manager.Īs for the back end work, I'm all for it.
I don't expect only a list of the files that I've previously downloaded with no interaction (I'm speaking of the seamonkey manager). You may have files waiting to download, but not enough bandwidth to grab them all at once, so you arrange them in the order that you want to recieve them. The type of thing I see in FTP clients (bulletProof, CuteFTP, FileZilla, etc). Let me clairify myself I don't nessessarly want the wiz bang features, but when I hear "managing downloads" I expect a little bit of management abilities. See the download manager QA page and the forum topic about the new Downloads window for more information. For Windows users, an alert similar to the new mail notification from the Mozilla Application Suite and Mozilla Thunderbird appears near the taskbar when all downloads have completed.
A confirmation dialogue is displayed if you try to exit Firebird with downloads still in progress, eliminating the frustration of accidentally stopping your downloads when you're done browsing. To streamline tasks such as saving cached images, the Downloads windows does not appear for files that take less than two seconds to transfer. There are also new preferences for the automatic removal of downloads from the list. A 'Clean Up' button lets users keep the Downloads window tidy by removing all completed, cancelled and failed downloads. Cancelled and failed downloads also remain in this list, with a 'Retry' option to allow transfers to be attempted again. The Downloads sidebar and progress windows have been replaced by a new combined Downloads window that lists all current and completed downloads. The latest nightly builds of Mozilla Firebird feature a new download manager for saving files. Mozilla Firebird Gets New Download Manager Saturday November 29th, 2003
