Hello all,

I have sent a few files to some of my contacts, and that's when I got a idea for a new script:
What would you think of a script opening a Firefox "download manager"-alike (or same) window, when sending a file to one of our contacts. It should tell us what is missing (size/time), and whom we are sending it to. I mean: such a window like Firefox's window would be ideal, only to add the name of the corresponding person, that is, the receiver of the file...

Why create such a script? Well I fing that it is very very very uncomfortable to send a file, then type much text, then send other files again, and if the files are very big by random, the first file won't be finished when you send the second. And if you want to see what's left (size) you have to scroll up the whole text, and then down again to continue typing, etc... In a download manager window, you could see the uploads listed one after another (+cancel, pause...) There should also be the possibility to set if the download manager closes automatically when all downloads are finished. And if to remember uploaded files, or if the history gets cleaned up when closing the window/signing out of WLM (so, everything exactly like in Mozilla Firefox)

Please, if somebody is interested a bit, tell me. And if you got ideas for making it even better, please tell as well! When the idea has advanced a bit, there could be a project created in short time and at the end, a script.

Thanks,
cheers!

PS: Please translate this into English properly.
