When I say the "Save As" UI I mean the one you get currently, which
varies, some browsers only provide a Save As and Cancel, while others
provide Save As with Open and Cancel.
I can't name a single browser that provides an "Open" option if you
select "Save As" from the context menu. Can you?
Not explicitly, but if you click the link for example, but this would
also allow enhancing the explicit Save As (by letting the browser know
the filetype more accurately and present My Documents, or My Images etc.
folder destination if supported by browser obviously)
So based on your remarks, maybe the spec could state that if a browser
believe it can handle the file type then it should present a Open + Save
As UI,
but if it can not handle the filetype (aka handling un-configured or the
user set the browser's settings this way) then it should just present
Save As without Open.
So you mean the browser should act as if
content-disposition:attachment were specified? Why not just say that?
Um. Because this (the topic by the original poster) is about exactly
that? *smiles*
