The only way I've found is to use Command-Q, but instead of quitting Firefox it closes all windows and the sheet, but leaves the download manager visible (as well as the Firefox menus). I can open the options from the Add-ons window, though, and since it opens as a new window it has a close box and can be closed.
This must be an Firefox/OSX issue. For me it shows up as a separate window with a close box on top and OK and Cancel buttons at the bottom. What happens if you go to Tools->options->downloads and select advanced options? I don't have access to an OSX PC so I'm not sure I can do much to fix this. I'll try and see how the add-ons window does it and maybe copy that. It may have to wait for someone who does have OSX to provide a fix for me.

This was by design, but I'm going to do something about it in the next version.
dtgriscom wrote:- When deleting a single file, you get a confirmation dialog with "No", "Cancel" and "Yes" buttons. The "Cancel" button is only useful if deleting multiple files; it should be hidden if deleting a single file.
Must be an OSX thing, because the programs I use don't bother with this, and I copied their behavior. I plan on several changes to the confirm popup and I'll probably change this too.
dtgriscom wrote:- The icons in the Downloads window are pretty coarse and aliased. Of course I couldn't do better, but perhaps you have a graphics designer user who could. Perhaps the "Delete" button could be changed from an "X" to a red circle/slash symbol on top of a file; the Trash icon could be changed to a dust broom (for cleaning up, which is less drastic than trashing something).
The trash can and the folder are carried over from the early days of DMT and the original developer. The red X is something I copied from other programs I use (like
http://www.irfanview.com/) and the same for the other icons. I don't have a graphic designer, I only have me (DMT is a one man show). I made a bunch of new icons for 0.8.5 and I thought they looked better and more modern than the old ones, but all I get are complaints that my new icons look old and ugly
. I don't think it's possible to make everyone happy. I haven't decided what I'm going to do about this.

I plan to add a "yes to all" button to the confirm popup in the next version.
dtgriscom wrote:Command-J ("Tools/Downloads") and Command-W ("File/Close") both should close the Downloads window. However, if DMT is installed and enabled, and the Downloads window is the only window open, then neither Command-W nor Command-J work.
You're right about this. Not something I would have thought to try. I'll have to investigate to see if there is anything I can do about it.
As a side note: 96% of DMT users are on Windows. Linux and OSX split the rest evenly at just under 2% each.
