WX Download Status Bar par Joseph Wensley
16 notes
- Noté 1 sur 5par Sopor, il y a 4 moisIt seems that every Download status bar extension is out-of-date. Sad that they all are broken in different ways. 😥
- Noté 1 sur 5par Iantuition, il y a 10 moisNearly useless - having to first double-click the download in the status bar to open the download, then click "open download" in ANOTHER pop-up window (which often doesn't even come into focus, so the user has to find it) is more time consuming than simply opening the download window and opening the file from there. Uninstalled.
- Noté 1 sur 5par rado84, il y a un anDoesn't work at all, totally useless! The "status bar" won't even show up when a download starts.

- Noté 1 sur 5par BMC, il y a 5 ansIt doesn't open the file. It opens a windows that has a link to open the file. That stupid hack window also randomly disappears.
- Noté 1 sur 5par Atherworld, il y a 6 ansDoes nothing. No status bsr is created for downloads on Firefox 66.0.3

- Noté 1 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 14314633 de Firefox, il y a 7 ansCan't launch or open anything from status bar
- Noté 1 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 13586117 de Firefox, il y a 7 ansSo close to the original DSB ??? Must be a joke.
The 'autohide after download' function does not stay, even the defaulted 'autohide of everything when not specified' doesn't work.
The downloads are by default routed to to the download folder, without any possibility to get the usual "last selected location" behaviour.
Colors for the very obtrusive bars are not selectable.
And this is called by some trolls here as "so close" ?
Got rid of this add-on. Don't let yourself be fooled. - Noté 1 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 13842562 de Firefox, il y a 7 anstotálně mi zablokoval prohlížeč

- Noté 1 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 13699676 de Firefox, il y a 8 ansIt needs to "access my data for all websites"? No thanks....

- Noté 1 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 13547740 de Firefox, il y a 8 ansWhy this addon requesting access to my personal data for all sites? https://prntscr.com/hvlsf3
I don't think it's good idea. Installation process was cancelled by me. Sorry.
PS. There's no replies chain so just had to add.
If you used already built-in downloads for visualisation in status bar, your addon don't need to access my data then.
If you didn't used built-in downloads it means you used bad practice. Your addon will use more PC's resources and slow down Firefox.
Also users don't trust addons that request access to data because data may content personal information, logins/passwords, credit cards info, etc.

mis en ligne : il y a 8 ansYou seem to not understand how web extensions work. The old download status bar addon didn't ask for any permissions because legacy addons didn't have a permission system.
There is no way to show a status bar currently without injecting HTML into each page, which means the addon needs access to every website you visit.
Once Mozilla adds an API that allows creating real status bars then it will not need access to all pages, but that could be months away if not longer. - Noté 1 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 13614700 de Firefox, il y a 8 ansPoor copy of old and vastly superior Download Statusbar.
It has no bonus options of old one, no popup info when hovering pointer over file that downloads, if downloaded file has long name, you have to open containing folder to see it fully (not useful when downloading lots of similarly named files).
It cover sizeable chunk of screen (compared to just enough from old one), and Divines help you if you did not click on "keep it in one row" option...
Since sadly old one was not updated anymore, apparently creator of this one tried to cash in on users which could not go without old one.
PS: I see dev got butthurt by being called out on his poor copy. Made my day.
Wanna good review? Make something useful.Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 8 ansThe old extensions are dead and aren't coming back.
If the tooltips or something aren't working for you create an issue on GitHub instead of acting like an entitled douchebag.
If you don't like this extension feel free to make a better one, it seems so far I'm the only person to put any effort into creating a replacement. I made this because there was no existing replacement and I wanted one, not to "cash in", since I'm not getting paid for it anyways.
