Download Notifier Extension

It's now open-sourced.
https://github.com/ehaagwlke/download-notifier

**********

V0.0.5

I get the time to make the 'play a sound when download finished' feature configurable. And you also can decide whether the default download shelf should display or not (though I prefer NOT).

Another change is, there will be more than one notification card displayed.

All things now could be configured via options page.

**********
V0.0.4
Here comes three new things:
1. The \"Open\" button now can be used
2. While one download finished, it would play a sound (not configurable for now)
3. The icon would be visible even if you are using a pure black theme

and one more thing (might be buggy):
- sometimes Chrome thought the file downloaded would be harmful, once this happened, this extension will prompt to ask for your confirmation, and this will be done on the chrome://downloads page. And, this feature might be buggy, if
you encounter any problem, contact or email me. Thank you.

**********

This extension does two things:

1. Disabled the download shelf. Yes, I personally do not like it. So when I get the change, I just disabled it. You will get a badge while something is downloading. Sorry no progress bar available for now.

2. Display a desktop notification when your downloading finished, and you could find it by one simple click.

TODO(May be implemented in future, may not):

1. An animated browser action icon which could show the downloading progress

2. A \"OPEN\" button on the notification card -- depends on whether Google would allow me to do so. [V0.0.4 added]

3. A popup shows all the downloads -- actually it was almost there, if there had not been some annoying bugs.

Mike Manion (ID: 00000083b41f1523) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/19/2020 Used to be 5 stars, but lately it does not remember the user settings anymore! If you choose a sound for it to make when the download is finished, a couple days later that option will be unchecked again (so it no longer makes any sound). I've checked that option about 8 times in the past couple of weeks, because it always reverts back to unchecked after a day or two. Any plan to fix this?
