Since the download manager already knows where the file is located, it would be simple to check if it still exists when the window is opened. This would really make the download manager a useful tool, since i could track downloaded files that i haven't dealt with yet. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
What if i save it on the Network on the network is not availible ? The network timeout is very slow and the whole download manager is blocked until this timeout. The DM muust check all files and i think this is very bad. suggesting WONTFIX
Hmm, a potential problem, i suppose it would need to be an option if implemented. I personally never have more then 3 or 4 files in the manager at any time anyways. When the manager is opened it could start scanning the files in the background. files that are deleted could be greyed out once they are discovered missing. the next session for the manager they would be gone. but this is starting to get pretty complex. Perhaps a simple option to remove files past a certain number of days? like remove files from list after 1 week?
