[EXT] Download Status Bar

Post by xadiCanione »

Hi,

I am authoring a new Download Statusbar Bar add-on.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... tatus-bar/

I published user interface for Downloas Status Bar and will write the Options soon.

Statusbar Download Bar indicates for each download item:

Name
Download Speed
Progress
Download icon

Right clicking at each download item gets you download context menu where you can launch and open containing folder and more.

Could you please install and suggest about new add-on?

Cheers

Got it, it's pretty basic right now. I'd like the option to change the colors & auto clear certain files like the DSB had.

I like this extension, especially the use of a contextual menu for closing the Downloads bar and another for the Progress Meter. Works as well in 29.0a1 Australis as it does in 26.0. As far as other options, no suggestions - meets my needs as is.

I've added this to Firefox and restarted but I don't see it? Should I be seeing an icon on toolbar somewhere?

1.2.23 version

No icon & no options yet. When you start a download you will see it. I just Googled a pic & downloaded it to see it in action after I 1st installed.

BTW: I'd rather not have an icon in the toolbar, it's unnecessary.

Once auto clear on certain file types or all files is added that will go away.
