agree, you would clik and it would focus in the ft manager, if you don't want it, then it won't show, as I said opera has 3 settings : 1 - show manager when ft starts (this opens up the file transfer tab whenever you download something) 2 - show manager in background when ft starts (if you download something, the file transfer tab is opened but you don't "switch to tab", it stays as a background tab) 3 - do not show manager when ft starts (you download as many as you want, it doesn't appear as long as you don't request it with the menu/hotkey) and yes, the idea behind the manager is to have only one window for all transfers > Btw. keep in mind that closing a CW should not stop any FT.
