I love Chimera, and it's now my prefered browser. But, in many ways, it's still a work in progress. One thing that bothers me is that after you download a file, the download dialog window hangs around until you close it by hand. Not a big deal usually, but if you've downloaded a large number of files, you have to go through and manually close a lot of these windows. Here's how to get rid of them automatically:
- Quit the Chimera application.
- Open this configuration file in your favourite text editor:
~/Library -> Application Support -> Chimera -> Profiles -> Default -> [random].sit -> prefs.js. Some people prefer to put custom user preferences in users.js in this same folder, however, all the settings in users.js are copied over to prefs.js in the end so this seems more direct. That and some prefs when specified in users.js are simply ignored for some reason.
- Add this new preference to the end of prefs.js:
user_pref("browser.download.progressDnldDialog.keepAlive", false); - Save the file and fire up Chimera.
That's it, all the download status dialogue windows will automatically close themselves when your download is complete.
