GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 171197
Downloads not automatically opened anymore
Last modified: 2005-04-18 14:00:53 UTC
This bug has been opened here: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/8016 "My epiphany is configured to "Automatically download and open files" (which is the default), but since a while, the "open" part doesn't happen anymore. When epiphany doesn't know the filetype, it will tell me about it. But if it knows the filetype, it will simply download the file and not open it with the configured default handler anymore. Using epiphany 1.6.0 and all current hoary updates. Unfortunately I'm not sure if it started to happen after the latest epiphany update or at some other point."
I noticed this too. (MandrakeCooker + epiphany 1.6.0)
On Fedora 3 / GNOME 2.10 / Epiphany HEAD too.
Fixed on HEAD and gnome-2-10.
