yep this would be great and possible only if the program you're using to download has an interface (DBus for instance) that tells us ths information. |

I'll look at Transmission then, since I also use it 
Firefox doesn't seem to have an interface (I've found a Dbus plug-in but it seems a bit out-of-date).
if you have any info, please post them here. |

And what about chrome.And i also thought about terminal since i (and i also think a lot of other linux users) use it to download a lot of stuff.Maybe even the package manager!
And by the way do you think that you are gonna be able to finish eventually the folder applet and separator problem and the disappearing of the reflection of some applet (cause i have it too) in January |

I have 1 brain and 2 hands only
you can help by finding which programs have an interface to tell the dock the download progress
I'll focus on bug-fixes during january/february anyway, so that the 2.3 is ready for Natty |

it's still the same problme: if firefox/chrome have an API (Dbus) to let the dock know about their current state, we can easily represent it on their icon.
so the question is just: do they have such an interface ? |

hmm, it's just "yet another dock API", like the one we have and the other docks had ...
does anyone support this ? will it become a standard ?
but this could be implemented as a plug-in (like our current Dbus API), so I'm perfectly ok to integrate it if there is any volunteer |

Thanks, zapata, it is a good idea. The main problem, as Fabounet said, is the lack of information from those applications. At the best of our knowledge these applications do not share the necessary information, so now the implementation of your idea is not feasible.
For Chrome, I think the Dbus is still not exporting this kind of methods that would be useful for us here. I've been looking a lil into the code http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/dbus/. Maybe someone has a better hint. |
