"Open" attachment doesn't work

[Michael Horvath]

It makes no difference if I select "Open" or "Download" for an attachment. Either case causes the download dialog to appear.

Using Chrome 31.0.1650.48 m on Windows 7 64 bit.

you need to setup your system and/or your browser to understand "ldr" and "mpd" and "dat". Currently I do not exactly how you do that, but we talked about that already in the forum. Just search

If you choose "open", your system will download(!) the part into a temp folder and open it afterwards...
While choosing "download" you specify a folder and open the file then manually...

I do not use Chrome but firefox and there you have the possibility to set the application for specific content (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/set...file-types) I am sure something similar exists for Chrome.
My setting for LDView files (dat, mpd, ldr) is "Always ask". Maybe you have set that to "Always save".
Just as an Idea.

It does not happen that way in my browser. Maybe it's a configuration issue on my part, as Michael says. Though I do not see such a configuration option in the browser settings.

Maybe this page tells the story for you:

As i earlier wrote, i do not use chrome, so it is only a guess that it works.

Yes, that helps. Thanks!
