Camino 1 Menu

Downloading files or software
The Downloads window offers an efficient way for users to monitor and control their downloads. You can access a list of downloaded files, pause and resume downloads, and even have quick access to recently downloaded files. To open the Downloads window, you can use the keyboard shortcut D or select Window >> Downloads.

If you download a disk image file (or a ZIP or SIT file), Camino 1 can automatically decompress it; certain media files, for example RealMedia, can also launch the appropriate media player application once downloaded. To enable this, choose Preferences… from the Camino 1 application menu and click on the Downloads pane. Here you can set the Open downloaded files preference. NOTE: While convenient, enabling this feature makes your computer vulnerable to damaging programs.

Pausing and resuming downloads

Camino 1 now includes a feature to pause and resume downloads. Using this, you can pause your download to save bandwidth and then resume it when you’re ready to finish.

Downloads can only be paused and resumed within the same browsing session; you cannot pause a download, quit Camino 1, and then resume a download the next time you launch Camino 1. In addition, not all servers support resuming paused downloads.

Clearing the downloads list
As you download items from websites, they appear in the Downloads window. If you have too many items in the window, you can clear the list. You will find a tool to do this in the toolbar of the Downloads window.

To clear the list of downloaded files, click on the Downloads window to make it active or chooseWindow >> Downloads menu. Then click the Clean Up button in the toolbar. Cleaning up the Downloads window does not remove items that are currently being downloaded, nor does it delete already-downloaded files from your hard drive.

Alternatively, you can remove individual downloads from the Downloads window’s list using the Remove button.

NOTE: Camino 1 does not support the browser.download.manager.retention hidden preference.

Selecting where downloaded files are saved
When you download a file, Camino 1 automatically saves it in the location specified in the Downloads pane of the Camino 1 Preferences. Camino 1 will download files to your Desktop by default, but you can change the location.

Camino 1 Save Downloaded Files

To change the download location, choose Preferences… from the Camino 1 application menu and select the Downloads preference pane. Next to the text Save downloaded files to, there is a drop-down menu that allows you to choose where downloads are saved.

NOTE: This changes your download folder location system-wide and will affect other browsers, including Safari.

Canceling a download
If you accidentally begin to download a file, you might want to cancel the download. To do this, simply click the Cancel button in the toolbar of the Downloads window to cancel the selected download.

Opening a downloaded file
When a download has completed, you might want a way to easily open the file (if you haven’t set Camino 1 to open completed downloads automatically). Click the Open button in the toolbar of the Downloads window to open the selected downloaded file.

Revealing a downloaded file

When a download has completed and you would like to see the file in the Finder, click the Reveal button in the toolbar of the Downloads window. This will open a Finder window with the download selected.
