Marking NEW.

reassigning matt's old bugs.

Comment 3

[Jesse Houwing]

With the new download manager window, this may not be so hard to implement I'd
think. Is there any chance this will happen? It is much cleaner than opening
another window in my opinion.

This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.

I've added chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/downloads.xul as a sidebar using the following defaults/profile/panels.rdf:
                        
----------------------- defaults/profile/panels.rdf ----------------------------

To use it, the panels.rdf in the profile must be deleted/moved.

I think it's what Firefox uses as a dialog, but it looks very good as a sidebar to me. Maybe making that one of the default sidebars would be enough.
