Package: lynx Version: 2.8.5-2sarge1 Severity: wishlist
Lynx is nice for browsing ftp sites. When finding something interesting, I press 'd' and lynx downloads it. Then it shows me a page with an option to save the downloaded file. A long time ago, this page was very nice. The "save" link was active by default, probably because it was the first link. So, after downloading, I could press 'rightarrow' and save the downloaded file with a single click. Think about it. When you download, you want to save the file somewhere. It is almost always the next step, so it should definitely be the default choice! Some day, lynx regressed on an upgrade. Now the default link is 'help', which no-one should need here. Well, I certainly don't mind that help is available, even though it is really easy when you have gotten this far. But it should not be the default! When downloading, 'help' isn't what you need normally. A somewhat silly user might need it, but only the first few times and then he knows what to do. Please consider optimizing for the common case of wanting to save the downloaded file. Lynx is something I use for its speed mainly, an extra keypress gets in the way of speed. It'd be really nice to have "save to disk" as the default/first link again, with the help stuff as a secondary choice. That'd bring the speed back to the user interface. I should have reported this a long time ago, but it isn't really a bug. User interface design bug, perhaps. ;-) Now I figured out I could report it as a wish.
