* Proposal: http://limi.net/articles/improving-download-behaviors-web-browsers | |||
* | == Goals == | ||
* | * Replace the download manager window with a panel, and have a better download progress indicator | ||
* Move download history to main history window | |||
* Improve MIME type default behaviors, download instead of asking when safe, move “advanced” options to “Save As” | |||
* Make common file types/protocols in the Applications pref pane more accessible | |||
* Unify security questions on executables where we can (ie. move to OS-level where supported) | |||
Secondary goals: | |||
* Inline display of content we know how to handle (ie. text/*, image/*) | |||
* Cursor indicator for links that result in protocols/files | |||
