Synopsis: Feature Request: Don't open a window when clicking external link to download something
Bugzilla-Product: galeon
Bugzilla-Component: general
Bugzilla-Version: unspecified
Description:
Please describe your feature request:
As it stands right now, as of 1.3.19, if I click a link from an email,
or a chat window, and it's to a downloadable object (i.e. compressed
file, movie, mp3, etc), Galeon will open a new [blank] window and then
prompt me to download/save that object. Is it possible to have galeon
check the headers for the type of object it's download (inline viewable
object vs. downloadable object) before it paints a window, I feel this
could help keep the user's desktop that much more clutter free. Thank
you all for an already great web browser. If I'm not being clear in
this, I apologize and invite anyone to email me for further
clarification.
