Download progress dialogs no longer show details.
Just transferred so far, and time.
It used to show speed, which I miss greatly, it is enormessly useful in
keeping track of how my conection is doing.
If you use the "Download Manager", that has a column for speed (you might need
to add it by clicking the down-arrow at the right-hand end of the column
headings). Using the Download Manager can be selected in the preferences
under Edit > Preferences > Browser > Downloads. The "Progress Dialog" doesn't
seem to show the speed though.
If in restoring them the ability to see sizes in bytes could be added,
it would be greatly appreciated.
As far as I can see, both the progress dialog and Download Manager show the
total size. Whether that can actually be shown before the download is
complete depends on the server you're downloading from including the size in
the response headers - some just don't, and sometimes data is generated
on-the-fly so the server might not know in advance how big it will be. Or
were you specifically wanting to see the size in bytes as opposed to KB/MB
even for larger files? I don't think there's an option for that, though I may
be wrong.
The other oddity is that 'save image' & 'save page as' are no longer
consistently keeping the destinations I set.
Sometimes they work, others they do not, no real pattern so far.
I'm not sure offhand about saving the page or images, but certainly the
last-used location for downloads is remembered on a per-site basis. That can
get a bit confusing if downloads are automatically redirected to one of
several mirrors (like SourceForge do), since the actual domain you're
downloading from might change from one download to another, and the default
destination will depend on which mirror you get redirected to for each
individual download. That may or may not be relevant to what you're seeing.
I should note that I have NOTHING in my user profile that I can put
elsewhere, even my SM profile is placed elsewhere.
Everything on 'C:' is disposable, nothing of any value what so ever goes
there at all.
That shouldn't be a problem as far as I'm aware.
SeaMonkey needed to switch to jsdownloads. This api does not persist some
values. As steted speed should show just fine in the 2.53.2 Download Manager.
Last bug I fixed for the progress dialog was
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1622830
Speed got dropped from the progress dialog. Needed to clean this up because it
was half broken. If you need the speed setting I can see if it can be added
back. Please file an enhancement bug the and make it depend on bug 1622830.
There are other oddities with location and time elapsed. Unfortunately most of
this is because of the new api. I worked around some but the current
implemetation is about as good as it gets for now. The Firefox devs just
implemented enough in Gecko to display some, compared to the old api, crippled
download information. Also intermingled with the bookmarks history now.
You mostly see problems with text files served from the cache or attachments.
Have blank fields in the dialogs because some of the data is just not available.
