Transfer Window - Allow to Float?

Hello all!

I'm a devoted Opera user of 5 years, and I'm really excited about Opera 9.5 beta - many sites I've had problems with are working perfectly and browsing is so fast, it's making all the others look just sad. Great job, dev dudes!

Anyway, here's a feature request I've always longed for: Is there any way there could be an option for the Transfers window to "float" freely outside Opera's web-display area, non-tabbed browsing-style? I like to use Tabbed Browsing, but I hate having to flip between tabs to monitor the transfer window, and I miss being able to push it off to the side, past Opera completely, so I can glance at it to check the progress of that much-anticipated download!

Basically: can you make Transfers a seperate window from Opera? I think this would greatly enhance Opera's flexibility!

Thanks for your consideration.

PS: text formatting isn't working for me at all in the post editor...?

avatarThis has been the case in the past, there was a real, clean detached mode for every page possible, also for the 'Transfer manager', or for the 'Bookmarks manager', that's how I have been using this all the time on a two monitor system very comfortably...

But now it's gone, only a dumb detached WINDOW is available, but I hope this is only because of that still BETA version...
You can try this nevertheless by dragging the page window (grasp the tab) outside of OPERA, down to the desktop taskbar.
