Download fucntion doesn't work with: FF 3.0 with VLC - after clicking on download, the link doesn't appear - the video opens in a new tab (it doesn't download but keeps on playing). FF 3.5b4 with Java - the link appears properly after clicking on download, but after clicking on it the video opens in a new tab and doesn't download. FF 3.5b4 with VLC - the link appears properly after clicking on download, but after clicking on it the video opens in a new tab and doesn't download. FF 3.5b4 with Native - the link appears properly after clicking on download, but after clicking on it the video opens in a new tab and doesn't download.
hmm... I think the VLC issue has been fixed (or at least it works for me) In the other cases your describing the nature of download links.. you have to "right click" on them and "save target as" unless you can send special headers so the browser knows not to try and "view" the item. Something like header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$file"); header("Content-type: $filetype"); should work... maybe we could standardize some get parameters that we interpret to let people download the item then javascript could just append that to the url. This may be helpful for very large images in commons as well. In the short term I added "right click" and "save target as" to the download menu item in r51443
