163954 - Alert if download in progress before system reboot

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 28385

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[Randy Santmann]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020821
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020821

When clicking Start->Shutdown the machine reboots, even if there is a large file
download in progress. Ideally this would be a prompt asking you "Are you sure
you want to reboot, there are downloads in progress?" I can't say how many times
I'll be downloading a 1 GB file and be 90% done when I forget about it and reboot.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Begin downloading a large file
2.Try to reboot windows
Actual Results:  
Download is cancelled and machine reboots.

Expected Results:  
Show a pop-up telling you there are downloads in progress and ask you if you are
certian you wish to reboot.

Personally I think this is silly, but personal feelings asside this is dependant
upon bug 28385 getting fixed. Then you could hook an endtask request up to this
system though I'm slightly worried this may affect being able to force mozilla
to close. Either way marking dependant upon 28385, then this can get looked at.

Setting OS to windows 2000 (reporter's platform) rather than "all". Unix
applications don't get to veto a system shutdown.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
