340847 - .webarchive files created using Safari2.0.3 are treated by Camino Version 2006052306 (1.0+) as links to be saved to disk - and not displayed like the saved web-pages that they are.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 294105

(Camino Graveyard :: Toolbars & Menus, defect)

Description

[Livin Stephen Sharma]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1a2) Gecko/20060523 Camino/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1a2) Gecko/20060523 Camino/1.0+

When pages saved (to disk for offline viewing) using Safari ( for example, <PageName>.webarchive) are double-clicked in Finder after setting the 'Open using...' to 'Camino.app' , they are instead 'opened' within the Download window of Camino.
They are NOT opened like simple html pages etc.

Also, the preview in Finder for these pages becomes a blank white sheet-like icon instead of and indication that the file is associated with Camino (probably a separate bug ?) .

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an html page using Safari.
2. Save the  page to disk (as a .webarchive file)
3. click on the file created (in Finder) and press Command-Alt-I and set 'Open with:' to Camino.app
(Its preview becomes an ignominous white blank sheet !! )
4. Double-click the file in finder

Actual Results:  
Camino's download window appears with the .webarchive file as a listed download.
An identical copy is created in the download folder set in Camino's prefs.

Expected Results:  
The .webarchive file should itself be opened in Camino in a fashion identical to simple htmls, etc

The icon-preview became a meaningless white 'sheet' like a text file without any extension.

Setting priority to 'Normal'. Please assess.

I believe this is a dupe of the webarchive implementation bug...

Attachment: a webarchive file created by Safari when saving a page for offline viewing.

open using Safari and using Camino to see the difference in the way the file is handled.
