Open Folder When File is Completed
Posted: Sat Apr 04, 2009 9:51 am
The title should be self explanatory but I'll go ahead and explain further.
You know how you can click a check box on a download in progress and choose to "Launch" the file when it's completed?
Well, I'm suggesting another check box in that area called "Open Folder when download is completed."
Lots of times, I'll download a zip file and it is pointless to open the zip file. I'd much rather open the folder so I can extract the zip and delete it immediately. To do this, I have to uncheck "Launch download when it is completed" and wait for it to finish. Afterwards, I can click the "Open Folder" button.
Also, a tabbed download window or perhaps a single (small) download window containing a list of downloads would keep things tidy on my desktop. I have noticed when downloading several files simultaneously, I will have 5-6 tabs littering my task bar and it's not pretty. A single compact window similar to Firefox's would be a much better way to show downloads.
One last thing, I've noticed that I sometimes end up with .php files instead of the actual file I tried to download. Is there anyway to prevent this?
If not, can you include a visual colored text warning that says "Caution, this may not be the actual file you tried to download. It is a PHP file." This would help tremendously in quickly identifying a bogus download in which case I can easily hit cancel to download it using Firefox instead.
Thanks,
