146376 - Download of Documents, open using <application> performs "open" instead of the default action.

Status: CLOSED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, enhancement)

Description

[Patrick Heeb]

When I download a document using a specific mimetype (such as text/x-logfile-y)
the download window appears, asking to choose whether open using an
<application> or save to disk. The "default" action registered on the mimetype
is e.g. "View with LogViewer", and the "open"-action, which is executed, is open
in a Text-Editor.

Can the default action be executed instead of open?

Is this still a problem with 1.3b?  We should now be using the "default" action
instead of the "open" action (and of course still dealing with the security
fallout from that change.....)

Resolving as we had no reply from reporter in 5 months.
If this is still an issue in a current build, please reopen bug.
