- Valutata 4 su 5di Utente Firefox 13594392, 7 anni faGreat job and a lifesaver! Not to belabor suggestions others have made, but here are my top 3 requests:
1) Make bar thinner in a manner similar to the old Download Status Bar extension by only displaying a single line of text and using tooltips to offload supplemental info. While download is in progress show a broken file icon, download speed, time remaining, and percent complete (or have option for user to choose 3 datums to display). Notice that filename doesn't display during download. When download completes, just display the file icon + name. All other data (file size, location, etc) can be displayed in tooltip.
2) Auto-clear (or have option to do so) when choosing Show in Explorer. Once I have gone to the file and started to work with it, I no longer need it in the status bar and having to explicitly clear it is just wasted mouse clicks.
3) See about injecting the status bar on all tabs. I keep dozens of tabs open at any one time and cannot keep track of which downloads are where.
Five stars if you manage to implement these! - Valutata 4 su 5di Utente Firefox 13589696, 7 anni faThank you for this extension. This is, so far, the only useful replacement for "Download statusbar" extension.
Please, add an option to configure font size and statusbar height. Now it is taking a really big chunk of screen estate on smaller resolutions ie. 1366*768. - Valutata 4 su 5di Nova6K0, 7 anni faGreat work Joseph! For putting a problem The bar should be self-hiding because it covers a small part of the browser. And if for example there is a dialog box and a button below to answer or send, for example, it is not seen, because the download bar covers it. But outside of that it works very well. ;-)
- Valutata 4 su 5di Utente Firefox 12955598, 7 anni facan you make it slim and on mouse over for more detail? thanks
- Valutata 4 su 5di Utente Firefox 13553492, 7 anni faThis is darn near exact what I have been looking for since upgrading to Quantum. So far my biggest critique would be that when the bar is open certain webpages that have static objects at the bottom of the screen become covered by it. Seems the bar is more of an overlay than integrated in the actual body of the browser, I dont know if this is because of the WebExtension protocol but it would be helpful to have the option to shrink to mini-mode or hide the bar to access these types of items. Thanks for your hard work and I look forward to seeing this extension evolve.

pubblicato il 7 anni faThe bar is HTML that is injected into the page so it can sometimes interfere with things there. I could probably do some sort of minimize button to temporarily hide it in cases where it is covering something. - Valutata 4 su 5di owcraftsman, 7 anni faFirst and foremost, thanks so much for developing this extension. It’s a fantastic beginning, My interest here is to request feature enhancements to make it even better and more like the legacy extension it’s replacing.
Feature Request
#1 SHA1 & MD5 calculations
Fortunately there is this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/calculate-md5-sha1-hash-che-1/ but the extra steps involved is quite time consuming so please please please bring this back. I put this #1 because it is essential integral part for any download manager.
However, it used to be incorporated into the download status bar of legacy browser. When hovering over a download when complete MD5 hash calculation was displayed. I’m very hopeful it can be incorporated again
#2 Persistent Status Bar
In the legacy extension the bar was persistent at the bottom of the open browser window and not tied to certain tabs. Please make it so if possible
#3 Dynamic resizing of concurrent downloads
I’ve had up to 25 downloads of diverse types (.exe .jpg etc.) all remaining in a single height one row linear fashion. This may be achievable with unticking the show text option in your extension dialog, but I haven’t tried it yet.
#4 Thumbnail view
I download images a lot, so I like to be able to hover over and view a thumbnail image for expedience please bring this back.
#5 Scan for virus dialog
Indispensable we really need this as it was in the legacy extension
#6 Double Click run or open file
Double click currently opens containing folder it should run exe or open image as it did with the legacy extension
#7 Play Sound when download complete
I loved that feature and wish you could bring it back maybe toggle on and off through settings dialog be nice if we could choose wav file but not necessary.Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 7 anni fa#1 I would need to read the file from the disk which I don't think is possible without the user selecting it using a file upload or drag and drop.
#2 This is kind of possible, the bar is per tab because it is injected into the html of the page, but I could make it always show for each tab.
#3 I could make everything show in one line no matter how many downloads you have, I'll probably add an option to make it do that.
#4 This is probably possible
#5 I don't think this is possible, but if I can figure out how to do it I will.
#6 This is unfortunately not possible, I would have to open another window and then you have have to click again to open the file, which I will probably do eventually. Kinda like sites that show a confirmation page when you click a link to a third party site.
#7 Playing a sound should be possible, not sure about a custom sound though, I'll have to look into that. - Valutata 4 su 5di DavidGB, 7 anni faGreat. I was really missing S3 Download Manager, and this is rapidly turning into a worthy replacement. Personally, though, I'd just like to see two changes: 1 - bar thinner; 2 - also showing the download speed while the download is still ongoing.
Thanks so much for making this. - Valutata 4 su 5di Utente Firefox 13528758, 7 anni faGood work. Needs improvement, but works well and I will be waiting for updates. Thanks!
- Valutata 4 su 5di Utente Firefox 13554347, 7 anni faGreat solution for this greatly missed feature. Thank you!

Coming from Download Status Bar this is a nice starting point, finally I can see my downloads again and handle them. I thought the new WebExtentions APIs no longer allows access to downloads from a horizontal bar at the bottom of the window but it seems to be possible. I hope injecting html is allowed by Mozilla?
It would be nice if the bar would be a bit smaller and some colours added. Also an option to delete the download.
But this one is nice and the only alternative I found. Keep up your great work, 3 stars for now and because there is a space above up to 5 stars. It´s just 3 days old!
EDIT: One Star up for the fast feedback and update.Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 7 anni faThanks,
I've already started working on deleting downloads and making the bar smaller, I'll probably release them this week.
I'm not a designer so I wouldn't expect it to be too pretty unless I can find a designer willing to do some work on it. - Valutata 4 su 5di 約修亞, 7 anni fa
- Valutata 4 su 5di dee.pee, 7 anni fa4 stars to ask the developer to continue his work ... before attribute him 5 *
Not yet equivalent to the "non-we" S3.Download , but on the way to !!
4 étoiles pour demander au développeur de continuer son travail... avant de lui attribuer 5 *
Pas encore équivalent au "non-we" S3.download, mais c'est en bonne voie !! - Valutata 4 su 5di Utente Firefox 13524199, 7 anni faI was looking for a replacement for the "Download status bar" I used to have, but that doesnt work with Quantum. This is the best replacement I've found so far.
Its nothing fancy, no spiffy colours... just the way I like it. Simple and non-intrusive. Could use a few more features/options though.
