Comment #40 on issue 333 by guilhermektti: Request: Instead of just being able to save what you download- be able to run. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=333
I propose, then, some changes. In the "Under the Hood" should be added one more option, like this: (Options 1 and 2 already exist) ------------------- Section "Downloads": Download location: 1. [C:\.... ] [Browse...] 2. ( ) Ask where to save each file before downloading 3. ( ) Ask for open file from a temporary folder ------------------- To make life easier for lay users, who are accustomed to other browsers, the "2" and "3" should be marked by default, when Chrome is downloaded. BELOW, I DESCRIBE MY PROPOSAL FOR BROWSER ACTIONS ON EACH OCCASION: ** a) 2 and 3 deselected: When the user clicks on a link to download, the browser will automatically save the file in the address selected in 1 (just as currently happens when the option is not marked 2). Chrome alert, as already do, if a file is dangerous. ** b) Only 2 selected: When the user clicks on a link to download, will be taken to a dialog box to select where he wants to save the file on his computer. After, the download is done normally. ** c) Only 3 selected: After clicking on a link to download, a dialog box will open: ------------------ You are trying to download the file "example.xxx" from "http://example.com"; What would you like Chrome does? [ Open ] [ Save ] [ Cancel ] ( ) Run automatically after download. Note: For details, change the downloads settings at "Under the Hood" in the "Options" menu. ------------------ If the user clicks "Open", the file will be automatically saved on a temporary folder, and if selected the option to "run automatically", that opens automatically for now, just as if it were simply clicked on the downloads bar. If the user clicks "Save", the file will be downloaded normally, at chosen address in the 1. ** d) 2 and 3 selected: This should be the default. Then, when the user clicks on a link to download, will be taken to the same dialog box drawn above. If he clicks "Open", the file will be automatically saved on a temporary folder, as the topic "c". If he clicks "Save", will open another dialog box that asks where wants to save the file on his computer. Thus, we facilitate the adaptation of new users of the Google's browser. Note: Extensions can customize the browser action per-filetype to download. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
