Comment #49 on issue 1028 by [email protected]: Do not stop downloads when closing the corresponding tab/window http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1028
After some discussion, we agreed that it would be more practical to just throw up a dialog when the user tries to close the browser when downloads are in progress. The dialog should say, "You have N download(s) in progress. If you close Google Chrome, uncompleted downloads will be removed. [Close and remove downloads] [Wait for downloads to finish]" The "Close" button does what Chrome does today and continues to quit the application. The "Wait" button cancels the close operation and focuses the tab with the in- progress downloads. If there are multiple tabs with downloads in progress, select the leftmost one (or keep the current selection if it has a download in progress). It should NOT try to automatically close the browser once the downloads finish. We feel it is acceptable to use a dialog in this case because it is relatively rare. Implementing and maintaining special systray UI is more trouble than it's worth. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
