| Summary | 0001969: Provide an additional setting to Play sound when download starts | ||||
| Description | I have set my browser (Brave) to download pdf files instead of opening (viewing) them inside the browser. I typically use this feature to download research papers (pdf files) from Google Scholar or Google. But there is a problem: When I click on many links, they do not respond at all. There is a four-step work-around: 1. Use context menu of the link, and copy the link. 2. Open a new tab. 3. Paste the link from clipboard in the address bar. 4. Close the new tab (it was just needed temporarily) But there is a further problem: I have to watch each link closely to see if the download has started or not. I know that CDM provides some visual clues: 1. An animated "download" arrow icon pops up' However, this appears only for a split-second, and easy to miss. 2. The CDM icon in the toolbar shows an increment in the number of downloads number However, a typical research file is so tiny that the download is completed in a split-second. Again, very easy to miss. Worse, if the download is a large file, then I cannot wait for the sound notification when the download completes. Besides, since I click on a large number of links, their "download completed" notifications would get mixed up. Thus, regardless of small or large downloads, the existing visual/audible notifications do not serve the purpose. Therefore, it would be great if CDM plays a sound when the download STARTS. That way, it would not be necessary to constantly look out for momentary clues. | ||||
