Autor: owcraftsman, 9 lat temuFirst 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.

Data: 9 lat temu#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.

- Ocena: 1/5Autor: Iantuition, 2 lata temuNearly useless - having to first double-click the download in the status bar to open the download, then click "open download" in ANOTHER pop-up window (which often doesn't even come into focus, so the user has to find it) is more time consuming than simply opening the download window and opening the file from there. Uninstalled.
- Ocena: 5/5Autor: Rob, 2 lata temuHow to stop it from opening a window to confirm I want to open a download please for the love of god this is so annoying.
- Ocena: 1/5Autor: rado84, 2 lata temuDoesn't work at all, totally useless! The "status bar" won't even show up when a download starts.

- Ocena: 5/5Autor: Onyx, 2 lata temuExcellent plugin. And love the latest (Mar 31, 2024) customization features! Amazing.
- Ocena: 4/5Autor: Herman Blume, 3 lata temuIt's good, and it's really, really close to being perfect. Just wish there was an option to click the downloaded file and automatically open it.

- Ocena: 4/5Autor: Cam, 3 lata temuOf the few download statusbar addons, this is the "best" one, but it's still obnoxious how double-clicking the download opens a separate "open file" window instead of just, you know... opening the file?

- Ocena: 4/5Autor: Miyako Jones, 4 lata temuI wished it worked like Chrome and, sometimes, it's impossible to close the bar without restarting Firefox.

- Ocena: 3/5Autor: Dorraj, 5 lat temuIt is WAY more useful than the built in Firefox download manager, but I wish I could click it to open and I wish you could queue to open files when done downloading. Also the clear button being on the left is odd to me.
- Ocena: 4/5Autor: Umpahpah, 6 lat temuUseful tool, perhaps some design is needed (too large when page size is change, but overall qute good
- Ocena: 3/5Autor: Użytkownik Firefoksa 11050938, 6 lat temuYep. It needs single-click opening -- better yet, an "open when done" function. And a smaller footprint, at least as an option.
