[EXT] Download Manager (S3)

[pag77]

Hello, users!
Have not seen you for a long time

I have long waited for someone to make a beautiful downloadbar...
but unfortunately there is only one not beautiful version:
https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/wx-download-status-bar/

I'm tired of waiting and started porting my addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/s3download-statusbar/
ahead is a long and difficult road, but here is an example of a screenshot of the beta version
I hope that I will be able to finish what I started and in one or two weeks I will show the world my new release

Great. Thank you, pag77.

version 5.1
Mozilla Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/s3download-statusbar/
Google Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/download-manager-s3/ngmcjenopiialholjggicgplegmcmjda

First version for WebExtensions.
Since version 5.1, Download Manager (S3) is now fully compatible with WebExtensions (Firefox Quantum 57+) and Google Chrome

Download Manager (S3) is full compatibility for Google Chrome, but there are known problems for Firefox:

1. downloadItem.exists does not change from true to false when a file is removed
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1381031

2. does not display history from past sessions
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1255507

3. chrome.downloads.drag is not a function
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1245648


small cosmetic differences from the xul-version:

1. animation:


2. change height-size on the fly

This extension is great, thanks
I have two problems with firefox and chrome as well
- browser status bar hides your download bar, it should be above the download bar
- "Clear finished downloads when the browser closes" option doesn't have effect

- browser status bar hides your download bar, it should be above the download bar

I can raise the download bar up, but then download bar will take a lot of space from the current web page
But you can change the location of the download panel and move it to the top of the page:

- "Clear finished downloads when the browser closes" option doesn't have effect

thanks for the bug, please wait update

Sorry if I insist. I don't have this problem with WX Download Status Bar
So, it seems possible at least in Firefox

I do not know if I explained myself well, so this an example

Fix doesn't work when the download bar is at the top of the page

Welcome back to FF! There is a bug in the statusbar

Welcome back to FF! There is a bug in the statusbar

this bug present on all sites or only on some?
please url

[Olofern]

you have version 5.2?

Yes

[pag77]

you have version 5.2?

Yes

Settings:


you use Chrome and you completely close all Google Chrome windows?

please try follow this step:
1. open new tab
2. type in url address:
chrome://restart

after press "enter" all your google chrome windows will be restarted
after restart - Download bar is empty?

[Olofern]

you use Chrome and you completely close all Google Chrome windows?

I have this problem with firefox and chrome and I checked the task manager and all instances of the programs are closed

please try follow this step:
1. open new tab
2. type in url address:
chrome://restart

Yes, it's empty with your method


There is a workaround in Firefox and maybe many users may not like it.
You can make Firefox status bar always visible with this code in your userChrome.css

Code: Select all

/* Always show Status bar  */
#content-deck { margin-bottom: 1em; }

.browserContainer>.browserStack>browser{
     margin-bottom: 5px;
     margin-top:-2px;
}

:root {
    --statuspanel-height: 20px;
}

:root:not([inDOMFullscreen]) statuspanel {
    bottom: -2px !important;
    opacity: 1 !important;
    width:  100% !important;
    max-width: 100% !important;
}

:root:not([inDOMFullscreen]) statuspanel[inactive] .statuspanel-label {
    color: transparent !important;

}

statuspanel[inactive] .statuspanel-inner::before{bottom:2px;padding-left:5px;position:

fixed;content:"Done";
}

I have this problem with firefox...

it's impossible! Firefox does not have functionality to display the previous Download history
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1255507

....I checked the task manager and all instances of the programs are closed

chrome://restart

Yes, it's empty with your method

most likely your browser is not completely closed in reality.
it may be a conflict with other add-on.
please temporarily disable the other add-ons and check again your problem

unfortunately API WebExtensions can not change userChrome.css
but thanks anyway - maybe someone will use your styles to manually change userChrome.css

Not impossible at least with my Firefox configuration

I disabled all Chrome extensions

Chrome deletes downloads but always show the bar. Can I avoid this?


I have these problems with Download status bar placed at the top and at the bottom.
I don't know what's happened, but after I had updated to 5.2 version I didn't have this problem when Download status bar was placed at the bottom

[Olofern]

Ok, I understood the problem: it was the download notification popup
Thanks for your support
