169439 - expect "close on finish" option in download manager (browser.download.manager.closeWhenDone)

Status: NEW

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Wenqing Jiang]

If you chose download in a dialog box, you have an option of close or
retain the dialog box after the downloading is finished.  In download
manager you don't have this option to close the window after all the
files in the manager are downloaded.  Better have one!

Besides, I hope download manager can have pause/resume buttons to work
on selected file(s), like those in download dialog box.  Even better
would be a third button to continue downloading from where is stopped
before (such as by a telephone line disconnection).

Thanks for reading!

Bug 167452 was moved to product "Firefox" and resolved as fixed.
It's still an issue in the main application suite however. Reopening.

Firefox does this in JS:

Attachment: backend patch

For some reason (at least on linux), the lock file isn't removed when Moz quits
after the dlmgr has closed itself (even if the dlmgr wasn't the last window
remaining).

backend patch

What do I do if the download finishes before the dlmgr window shows up?  It
doesn't get killed.

The support is there in the new toolkit backend but our new UI introduced by bug 472001 does not yet listen to it.
