Musts.
|
|
|
|
* packaging
|
|
* signing
|

Planned for later.
|
|
|
|
* Investigate using an action popup for the browser action
|
|
* Soft errors and retry logic
|
|
* Big caveat: When the server still responds, like 50x errors which would be recoverable, we actually have no way of knowing it did in respond in such a way. See P4 - Handle Errors remarks.
|
|
* Delete files (well, as far as the browser allows)
|
|
* Inter-addon API (basic)
|
|
* Add downloads
|
|
* Chrome support
|
|
* vtable perf: cache column widths
|
|
* Localizations
|
|
* Settle on system
|
|
* Do the de-locale
|
|
* Enagage translators
|
|
* Download options
|
|
* This is a bit more limited, as we cannot modify options of downloads that have been started (and paused) or that are done.

Nice-to-haves.
|
|
|
|
* Landing Page v4
|
|
* Drag-n-drop ordering
|
|
* Drag-n-drop files
|
|
* Inter-addon API (hooks)
|
|
* Manipulate downloads (e.g. rewrite URLs)
|
|
* Native context menus?
|
|
* Would require massive reworks incl the need for new icon formats, but potentially feasible.
|
|
* Import/Export
|
|
* Download priorities (manual scheduling overrides)
|
|
* Dark Theme support
|
|
* os/browser define be default
|
|
* overwritable
|
|
* Get and cache system icons (because Firefox doesn't allow moz-icon: for WE, but makes them kinda accessible through the downloads API anyway, essentially copying them via a canvas on a privileged hidden page into a data URL... ikr)
|
|
* Remove `any` types as possible, and generally improve typescript (new language to me)
|

Stuff that probably cannot be implemented due to WeberEension limitations.
|
|
|
|
* Segmented downloads
|
|
* Cannot be done with WebExtensions - downloads API has no support and manually downloading, storing in temporary add-on storage and reassmbling the downloaded parts later is not only efficient but does not reliabliy work due to storage limitations.
|
|
* Handle errors, 404 and such
|
|
* The Firefox download manager is too stupid and webRequest does not see Downloads, so cannot be done right now.
|
|
* Conflicts: ask when a file exists
|
|
* Not supported by Firefox
|
|
* Speed limiter
|
|
* Cannot be done with the WebExtensions downloads API
|
|
* Actually send referrers for downloads
|
|
* Cannot be done with WebExtensions - webRequest does not see Downloads
|
|
* contenthandling aka video sniffing, request manipulation?
|
|
* PITA and/or infeasible - Essentially cannot be done for a large part and the other prt is extemely inefficient
|
|
* Checksums/Hashes?
|
|
* Cannot be done with WebExtensions - cannot actually read the downloaded data
|
|
* Mirrors?
|
|
* Cannot be done with WebExtensions - no low level APIs, see segmented downloads
|
|
* Metalink?
|
|
* Currently infeasible, as we cannot look into download data streams.
|
|
Headers-only might be an option.
|
|
But then again, metalink's features are mirrors and checksums, and we cannot do those.
