Update: Chrome Downloads Extension v1.21

Posted by Andrew.

I developed a Chrome Downloads extension on Mar 08. With this extension, you can visit Downloads Manager directly by one click from the toolbar, it's very useful for lazy man. :)

Saket gave me a suggestion about this extension:

The plugin is not much old and further improvements can be expected in the near future. Personally what I would like to see would be a small Downloads window instead of a new tab, something like this.

This is a very useful suggestion. So I just updated Downloads extension to v1.21. In this version, you can select open the Downloads page in a new tab or a popup window in the Options dialog. To adjust this setting, please follow the steps below:

1. Click menu Tools -> Extensions, open Extensions Manager in Chrome.
2. Click Options button in Chrome Downloads section.
3. There are two options:
• Open Downloads page in a new tab
• Open Downloads page in a popup window



4. Select one option and then click Save & Close

To use latest version, please visit Chrome Downloads Extension, and then click Install button.

Thanks Saket!
