That's actually a very good question, and I gave it some thought. But yes, I still stand my my opinion. The reason is that it is relatively uncommon for me to want instant access to the file I'm downloading - unless it is a total showstopper file for my computers operation, or a really small and therefore fast download, I will have moved on and done other stuff. I want to be notified that the file is finished, but it's not certian I want to do anything with it at once, in fact, that's the uncommon case. Also, if I queue a lot of files for downloading, say 10 links from one single page, I probably want to wait until they are all finished. What I don't ever want, is to be interrupted in what I'm currently doing. A discrete window opening in the background might be ok, but that is no better that accessing the desktop, and it is miles behind a notify that I can deal with as I please. If I choose to run it though, that's another matter. To me, that's the same thing as if I choose to run a file on my disk, it just have a long startup time. It's allowed to start as soon as it can. Btw, don't want to try it right now, but is the auto-run feature still there? Last time I clicked a SVG file online it opened like a million windows because SVG was associated with epiphany, which was set to autorun SVG with the associated program as it could not display it... Probably at least partly the distributions fault for setting the associations, but defaulting to auto-run without asking is very dangerous. -- Kristoffer > regards, > > -- > Reinout van Schouwen > > -- Kristoffer Lundén ✉ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ✉ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gamemaker.nu/ ☎ 0704 48 98 77
