My workaround solution for a wider "downloads window" (naturally hiding vital information in longer

file names, e.g. *.otrkey files) uses applescript to directly ACCESS "Downloads.plist", and places
How%202-%20APPLE%20Safari%20download%20window%20with%20full%20names%20(AppleScript%20Sys-Events%20etc.).txt
a link in Safari's favorites bar:
How%202-%20APPLE%20Safari%20download%20window%20with%20full%20names%20(AppleScript%20Sys-Events%20etc.).txt
First you save these scripts into "~/Library/Scripts/Folder action scripts/" folder, next you attach them
How%202-%20APPLE%20Safari%20download%20window%20with%20full%20names%20(AppleScript%20Sys-Events%20etc.).txt
(context menu: configure folder actions) to a new "Folder1" somewhere deep down on your Mac.
How%202-%20APPLE%20Safari%20download%20window%20with%20full%20names%20(AppleScript%20Sys-Events%20etc.).txt
To activate them, you will address a (meaningless) dummy "Folder2" inside "Folder1" thru this bookmark:
How%202-%20APPLE%20Safari%20download%20window%20with%20full%20names%20(AppleScript%20Sys-Events%20etc.).txt

How%202-%20APPLE%20Safari%20download%20window%20with%20full%20names%20(AppleScript%20Sys-Events%20etc.).txt
Now, what happens:
How%202-%20APPLE%20Safari%20download%20window%20with%20full%20names%20(AppleScript%20Sys-Events%20etc.).txt
- The clicked-on toolbar link will open "Folder1" because the called upon "Folder2" is inside.
How%202-%20APPLE%20Safari%20download%20window%20with%20full%20names%20(AppleScript%20Sys-Events%20etc.).txt
- Thus BOTH attached scripts are launched, #-1 closing the bookmarked "Folder2" window...
How%202-%20APPLE%20Safari%20download%20window%20with%20full%20names%20(AppleScript%20Sys-Events%20etc.).txt
- ... next ordering "System Events" to get all of Safari's "DownloadEntryPath" items.
How%202-%20APPLE%20Safari%20download%20window%20with%20full%20names%20(AppleScript%20Sys-Events%20etc.).txt
- These paths are shortened to name plus parent-folder and collected into a "dialog alert".
How%202-%20APPLE%20Safari%20download%20window%20with%20full%20names%20(AppleScript%20Sys-Events%20etc.).txt
- (Waiting for "dialog window":) #-2 script immediately on pop-up moves it to the top-right.

A few simple ASObjC scripts demonstrating the usage of various Cocoa classes. These should be saved and run as stay-open applications, since GUI elements need to be run on the main thread, although many* can be run from the **Script Editor** or **Script Debugger** (and adjusted for **Xcode**, of course). Care should be taken when running from an editor though, as programmatically created objects such as windows and menu items can be added to the current editor instance, in which case they will be kept until they are explicitly removed or the editor is quit.
README copy.md
* *OpenPanel - an NSOpenPanel with an accessory view.
README copy.md
* NSApplication, NSOpenPanel, NSMenu, NSBox, NSButton, NSDictionary
README copy.md
* *Sheets - shows an alert sheet (with a help sheet) over the main window. ASObjC does not support blocks, so you are limited to the (somewhat buggy) deprecated method. There are some third-party Objective-C categories supporting completionHandler blocks available for use in an Xcode project.
README copy.md
* NSWindow, NSAlert, NSButton
README copy.md
* *StatusBarTimer - a status bar menu item showing the time that a specified application is active.
README copy.md
* NSStatusBar, NSMenu, NSWorkspace notifications, NSTimer, NSMutableAttributedString, NSDictionary, NSFont, NSColor.
README copy.md
* *TimerDisplay - similar to StatusbarTimer, but displays a general-purpose timer in a floating window and / or a status bar menu item.
README copy.md
* NSWindow, NSStatusBar, NSMenu, NSTimer, NSTextField, NSMutableAttributedString, NSDictionary, NSFont, NSColor.
README copy.md
* *AlertLib - an NSAlert library. Performs an NSAlert with optional TextField, ComboBox, CheckBox, or RadioButton accessory views. Can be used as a script library.
README copy.md
* NSAlert, NSTextField, NSSecureTextField, NSComboBox, NSButton, NSTimer, NSBox, NSMutableDictionary, NSImage.
README copy.md
* *Popover - shows a popover at a button when it is clicked.
README copy.md
* NSWindow, NSButton, NSTextField, NSView,NSViewController, NSPopover, NSFont, NSColor
README copy.md
These are also examples using AppleScriptObjC, but use other Cocoa classes that can be run directly from the **Script Editor** or **Script Debugger** without any main thread issues.
README copy.md
* OverlayImage - overlay one image over another. The example puts an image or application icon onto a copy of the system's generic folder icon.
README copy.md
* NSData, NSImage, NSBitmapImageRep
README copy.md
* tags - a set of handlers in an example that adds or removes file tags.
README copy.md
* NSOrderedSet, NSURL, NSDictionary
README copy.md
* FinderTags - gets all of the Finder's tags and their label colors. Works with old and new plist locations (uses the `sqlite3` shell utility to read the database in current OS versions).
README copy.md
* NSDictionary, NSData, NSPropertyListSerialization
README copy.md
* JSON - conversion of a list/record to/from a JSON string.
