Comment #17 on issue 1028 by rjw.pope: Continue downloads in background
when Chrome is closed
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1028
The current download system (interface-wise) is perfectly fine, however, the
automatic cancellation of downloads when closing the browser is a major
problem.
lealcy (comment 11) is correct that there should be greater separation
between
download and initiating tab, as once the download has started, the vast
majority of
people are no longer interested in the page that started the download.
The only issue that needs to be addressed here is this cancellation.
something along
the lines of the following (pseudo-code) would suffice:
--------------------------------------------------------
On(Close_Window){
for(int i=0;i<nActiveDownloads;i++){
currentDownload[i].pause();
}
MessageBox("All active downloads have been paused.");
}
--------------------------------------------------------
The message box could easily be replaced with a toast window to be more
in-keeping
with the minimal-notification philosophy that seems to underpin Chrome's
design.
