I know that there is bug 132019 but it's not quite the same as this. Opera has this feature, and it makes deleting files (amongst other things) so much quicker, and saves me having to navigate to the file first. To make sure that the above mentioned bug isn't affected perhaps you could do like Opera, and add "Pause", "Resume", etc. above the default items in the context menu?

Just in case anyone doesn't get what I mean this is how it may look if you right-clicked the item in the download manager. I'm not sure if this is possible on Linux/Mac but it can be done on Windows at least.
DUP of Bug Bug 132019 Download manager context menu they even got a patch over there.

But that's exactly what I said in my first post! What I'm asking for is different. Guess I'll have to post on the other thread asking for this.
Reopening and tweaking summary, old one was "Add context menu for downloads". Reporter could you give a list of what items you wish to see, i'm sure there is already another bug open to add pause/resume to the download manager (if not the context menu itself)

Thanks for re-opening this. I really want all of the items that you get when you right-click a file (which will be different depending on each system), but I suppose the main ones are: * Cut * Copy * Rename * Delete * Properties As I say I'd prefer the proper context menu, but if that interferes with themes or whatever then those are the ones I'd like the most.
Most of these should be covered by "Show File Location" and then using the context menu, if there is one, for the OS.
Yeah I know, but if I have lots of downloads and want to delete them quickly it's a lot easier to just have it at the click of a button. Delete is the main one I suppose. Is it that hard to show the context menu? I'm not much of a coder so I don't really know. Or even if there were another button in the toolbar that said "Context menu"?
