aesqe / firefox-downloads-sidebar Goto Github PK

Version was bumped in the manifesto but not in the readme @aesqe 😃

Would it be possible to have a couple of enhancements to the button. Firstly that it toggles the download sidebar rather than just only open it. Secondly that the icon either has a light version for dark firefox themes or is neutral and thus changes with the toolbar text color. I'm not sure how that can be achieved but there's probably an example somewhere

When I retry a download in the regular firefox download window, the sidebar does not update to show that the retried download is now in progress. In the attached screenshot, the zip file is in progress in the downloads window but not in the sidebar.

Also, it would be nice to have an option to retry a download.

Is it possible that there could be an option for which side of the browser the sidebar opened? I'd prefer it on the right side. If not, not worries- this is a big help.

hello,
the extension does not handle correctly failed downloads: when a download fails I see in the sidebar the message "calculating", instead it should be "failed" or something similar.
Also when I restart the download (using the default firefox downloads toolbar icon) the message still says "calculating" and is not updated (workaround: close and reopen the sidebar).
thanks.

Thanks for a terrific new extension. I have eliminated the Sidebar icon because this app does it all and more. You might consider this ext. as something other than a just "downloads sidebar" and more a universal sidebar that incorporates all of the functions of the default sidebar plus the downloads. Maybe a more general icon too?

This is a really great extension, thanks!

It seems to have disappeared from the official Mozilla extensions catalogue. I'm setting up a new computer and naturally I wanted to install this extension! I was surprised to find it wasn't there.

Given that it's no longer in the store, I'm also surprised it's still working on my old Firefox installation - but not complaining!

Would it be possible to add it back? Do you know why it was removed in the first place e.g. does it somehow violate the T&C of the extensions catalogue, or just an oversight?

I noticed that the download sidebar is not showing the download speed could you add that please?

Hi there, thank you for the handy little addon.

Is it possible to add the functionality that would allow us to drag a downloaded file from a sidebar list onto a currently active window or as a new tab?

Currently, it is possible with "Show all downloads" window, would be pretty helpful to have similar behavior with a sidebar as well.

Thank you.

Could you add a button for the addon to instantly open the sidebar at the downloads?

Would appreciate moving the 'Remove Completed Downloads' button to the top.

Was working until recently, but no longer shows anything at all in the sidebar when open, while opening the normal downloads pop-up shows a full list.... even when I've had multiple downloads in the same session.

Started within the last month I would say, but can't be more specific, just noticed it yesterday. I'm on FFDE 70.0b6, Win10 1903 (18362.356). No other download or tab related add-ons, but I'll try disabling all and enabling this one alone just in case.

hello,
I'd like to open the download folder even if the download is not completed: usually I open the folder and the drag and drop the url into the folder, to remember the site from which I downloaded the file. Instead noe the icon is disabled during download. Can you just always enable the icon?
thanks.

Nice Add-On.

1. Can you please add the estimated time the download will be completed? it is shown in the regular download menu...
2. The date I see is always 1/1/1970 2:00:00 AM for all downloads, should I configure something to see the actual date?

It would be great to be able to drag and drop the downloaded file to Windows File Explorer with support of SHIFT (move) or CRTL (copy).
I mean, to provide the same feature as the Firefox download windows:

It would be good if the sidebar opened automatically as soon as a download started.
(I will look into WebExtensions and try to make a PR for this)

Seems that now the addon is displaying the popup menu thing that appears when you press the native firefox downloads button. Could you make it so that it displays about:downloads instead? Currently there is a bug and every time you restart the browser the popup that shows the downloads gets cleared but about:downloads does not so I think it would be better to show that. Also like a guy on amo reviews says it would be nice to have the right click options on the sidebar as well like copy the url of the download clean the downloads etc.

hi @aesqe

can't the addon include the page about:downloads already native in FF, and start from there?

I ask this without knowing much about addons... it's just an idea!

(About my review on AMO: no need to thank me! I really don't get why isn't this already native in FF. Sidebar is a logic evolution. Thank You for your work!!! :) )

Hi,

It would be awesome to add a Dark Theme (like Tree Style Tab). It could be a simple option.
So far I am overriding the css in the chrome/userContent.css in my Firefox's profile like this:

@-moz-document url("moz-extension://[...extension-hash...]/sidebar/panel.html")
{
    html, body
    {
        background-color: #222 !important;
        color: #EEE !important;
    }

    .toolbar-item .btn,
    .change-state-button,
    .cancel-button,
    .erase-button
    {
        filter: invert(90%) !important;
    }

    .progress
    {
        border: 1px solid #777 !important;
        background-color: #CCC !important;
    }

    .toolbar-bottom
    {
        border-top: 1px solid #777 !important;
    }

    .selected
    {
        background-image: linear-gradient(to top, #444, #444) !important;
        box-shadow: 0 0 1px 1px #777 !important;
    }
}

Thanks for the great add-on!
Best regards,
