  • Ticket #4874 – Description

    initial v3  
    1 There are certain file types, like pdfs, that Browse can't handle. Clicking on a link to one of these freezes Browse, so to view one, you have to right click on the link, and press 'Download Linked File.'
     1Over http everything seems to work fine. Over https, a new tab is opened completely grey, and all Browse buttons become unresponsive. I am using Sugar 1.06, Browse 157.2, arch linux, and an intel i5 cpu.
    22
    3 Instead, Browse should by default ask to download the file when it see that it is unsupported.
     3(over ftp, I get a message saying this web page could not be loaded, but that might be for another bug report.)
