- Added tooltip on the bar itself that shows overall
download
statistics.
- Added the ability to stop downloads. Stopped downloads are
saved
and will show up in the next browser session.
*Experimental*
They can be
resumed across session with a double click if the progress
is
saved in
the
cache. This function is not supported and does not
always
work. (this
program doesn't control it)
- Added the function (with pref) that if there are files downloading
when
the
browser closes, they are expanded into progress dialog
windows
so they
can
continue, instead of being cancelled.
- Added middle click to remove finished and stopped downloads.
- Added preferences for removing a finished download from the bar after
opening
or showing it.
- Added the ability to delete a downloaded file from the system through
the
context menu of the finished download, with preference for
showing a
confirm
message.
- Added the ability for changes in the settings dialog - display items
- to
immediately update in the current downloads, rather than
requiring a
browser
restart.
- Added the option to install into the profile directory.
- Added tooltips showing the local file location for finished and
stopped
downloads.
- Changed the default color slightly lighter.
- Changed the display items text to bold.
- Fixed the ability to remove in nightly builds May 23, 2003 and later.
- Fixed a javascript error on window close:
db_kObserverServiceProgID.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 0.73a Firebird May 14, 2003 - Mozilla May 21, 2003
- Fixes incompatibility with subproject, Download Sort
- Now packaged in jar format for easier future upgrades
- No new features
---------------------------------------
Version 0.73 Mozilla May 09, 2003
- Initial version for Mozilla
- All the same functions as the Firebird version except for:
auto-image
remove, finished download properties dialog, and border-top hiding.
------------------------------
Version 0.73 May 03, 2003
- Fixed incompatibility with linux
- Added two more possible display items: size downloaded so far and
remaining
time. User can select 2 or less of the 4 available.
- True auto hide. Now the border of the statusbar goes away
too.
- Fixed bug where autoremove didn't work when saving to a folder with
an
apostrophe in the name
Known bug: When there are multiple windows open, only the
original
window shows the status of the download. Others show a blank
progressmeter. (I tried to fix this but have been unable to
figure it
out)
-----------------------------
Version 0.72 April 26,
2003
- Fixed incompatibility with compact menu and all other "onfocus" using
extensions
- Copy Source URL now works
- Added pref to auto-remove downloads other than image files
------------------------------
Version 0.71 April 24,
2003
- Major rewrite of the progress display control code and the
pause/resume
functions.
Fixes both bugs referenced in the 0.7 release.
Hopefully
it is
now bulletproof, i.e.
visual elements always correspond to the pause/resume state
of
the
download and the
display preferences are always shown correctly.
- Added note to options menu "Display settings will take effect after
the
browser is
restarted." All the other options are real
time.
- Fixed css issue that caused progressmeters to display without a
border.
-----------------------------------
Version 0.7 April 21,
2003
(Spiff)
- Implemented pause/resume with single click on the download or in the
context menu.
Also, pause all and resume all.
- Added options dialog. Allows the display of progress
percent
and
download speed,
clearing the finish downloads on browser exit, and control over auto
image
removal.
Also, option for an easy way to turn off progress dialogs from showing
up at
download start.
- New tooltip for the in-progress download shows the same information
as the
progress
dialogs: Source, target, # KB downloaded, total KB, speed, time
remaining,
and percent.
Expand to window function removed.
- Better handling of downloads with unknown size, (probably could still
be
better)
- Fixed bugs: Negative display of progress percent
- Minor UI changes.
Known bugs:
- Sometimes the display of a paused download is reset when another
download
is
started. (it is still paused and it still has all the
progress
already
downloaded but it isn't
outlined in red as it should be)
- Sometimes when starting a download with "right-click | Save Link
As..." the
display preferences
(percent and speed) are not honored. Uses the default - both
turned
on.
---------------------------------------------
Version 0.6 April 05,
2003
(Transmogrifier)
- Fixed major bug that caused progressmeters not to update if the
download
was started using "Right click context menu | Save Link As..."
- Progress Dialogs opened with "Expand to window" can now be closed
without
canceling the download.*
- Smarter disabling of the download sidebar (it gets disabled because
of
excessive CPU usage when using both)
Fixes bug that left the sidebar splitter still
showing on
the
left edge of the screen.
- Minor UI changes.
*Note: The "Expand to Window" implementation is still not perfect but
it is
better than it was.
Perfect implementation pending on Bug 200760. Vote
for it
if you
wish.
There are minor problems (all of which would be fixed by bug 200760)
1. Downloads cannot be cancelled with the dialog. (They can
still
be
pause/resumed, launched, and shown)
2. A download cancelled in the statusbar will not automatically close a
corresponding progress dialog.
3. A download paused with the dialog will resume if the dialog is
closed.
4. Multiple dialogs can be opened for the same download.
----------------------------------------------------
Initial release: Version
0.5 March
19, 2003
(Calvin)
Features:
- All the same functionality of the download sidebar and more:

the
context menu or double click on the bar itself
- Show download properties
- Cancel an ongoing download, or cancel all current downloads with the

pause/resume

you close the progress dialog, the download will cancel.)

seconds.
(Enough time to open the picture in the default
editor if
necessary. )
- Support for themes.
