Description trmdi 2018-09-21 14:44:44 UTC

I use a python script as the external downloader. When I right click on an image then click Save to download it, if I close the tab too fast right after I click on Save, the external downloader won't start.
It starts normally if I wait for a few seconds before closing the tab.

# Falkon 3.0.1 / Qt 5.11.1

Still happens in Falkon 3.0.1 / Qt 5.12.0

There is a small delay before the download request is processed by QtWebEngine/Chromium, so there's no other way around it.

The same thing can be reproduced also when using internal manager.

I didn't mean that we have to stop that delay.

I meant that, can you make the download request be a child of Falkon's main window instead of a child of that tab? In that case, close the tab will not cancel the download request. Just a guess, I don't know how Falkon works.
