Description bugzilla 2010-09-11 17:45:56 UTC 
When a user wishes to download a file, the interface offers no clear way to do so. Whilst most users know they can right click and download a file, not all users will know this. The issue is further complicated when a user triies to download an svg, because, depending on what thumbnail or image they right click, they may instead obtain the generated png. I have seen numerous users confused about the correct procedure to download an svg file. A simple "download this file in its original format" link, under the main thumbnail on the image description page would help to solve this.
Comment 1 Derk-Jan Hartman 2011-10-08 10:56:32 UTC 
duplicate of bug 25695
Comment 2 Dominic 2014-03-09 21:59:58 UTC 
Related to bug 62305, which would also potentially solve the problem in this bug report.
Comment 3 Tisza Gergő 2014-11-19 00:05:35 UTC 
bug 25695 added a download URL, so the only thing needed is to expose that URL in a link. Marking as easy.

Gergő: Would that be a potential Google Code-In task that you could imagine to mentor? See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2014 for more info
Comment 5 Tisza Gergő 2014-11-19 20:05:24 UTC 
Sure. Should I sign up as a mentor?
