What is Download Notifier?

Download Notifier is a Chrome extension which provides desktop notifications when your downloads finish. It's open-sourced, disabling the download shelf and providing a badge when something is downloading. Enhancements include sound notification, the use of the 'Open' button and visibility with a black theme. Features can be configured via the options page.

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.

다운로드 완료뿐 아니라 시작할때도 알려주는 기능이 있었으면 좋았을텐데

The extension keeps getting corrupted, and I need to reinstall it repeatedly to restore its functionality.
