Well, I guess I didn't read the most recent Photon newsletter carefully enough to read about it being removed. If it is mentioned at all.GHM113 wrote:The best part:

Kind of a jolting experience to find it missing after years of seeing a Download button in the toolbar.
I look forward to the "alternate access point for past downloads and for the Library window " mentioned in another bug.

I just downloaded the latest hourly, and per previous discussion in todays thread - I am now missing the Download Icon as well on Win10, 32 bit builds.
Ugh! just saw the post above this one - WTF ? Add me to the opinion poll of the 'Guy is an ID-10-T
That leaves us with no download indicator except what's show in the Windows Taskbar, not sure what other OS show if anything. STUPID

Negative. Once you initiate a download, the button should appear and remain in session until you clear the downloads panel from the button. Then it is supposed to disappear again until you initiate a download. That's how I understood it from the bug report.TheVisitor wrote:That leaves us with no download indicator except what's show in the Windows Taskbar, not sure what other OS show if anything. STUPID

non-customizable !
And it does appear after you download a file.
The download button is placed always just right side of Location Bar or SearchBar at next session.

Wow... That's just stupid!
I use the download button to quickly get to my downloads folder and recently downloaded library (which is currently bugged).
UX team really don't know how to design a UI...

Anybody know why the 64-bit windows build isn't available? I see the 32-bit build.

Well, you have to understand, that download icon was butt ugly though, so I see a spark of a reason why they got rid of it.
