Hi,
I dislike hand-holding features in software; if I want to save a file I
just want it to save it. Anyway, it's always worked for me in SM, I
think I must have turned it off in Edit:Preferences:Browser:Downlaods
many years ago.
Anyway, I was trying to help a friend (by phone) with a really simple
question:
"How can I save a PDF attachment from an email in SM?"
I explained to right-click the attachment, and choose "save as"; should
be easy, but they were (apparently) bombarded with pop-ups; the first
one saying a script was taking a long time to run, and then they were
presented with "Download Manager" which they found really confusing.
Two questions;
Q1. Does "Download Manager" really appear when you save an email
attachment - I thought it was only for http downloads from web sites?
Not normally, at least I've never seen it in that context, and I've been
here since Netscape 4.7. But I haven't changed my prefs lately, so your
friend's prefs may differ from mine.
Q2. Best way to turn it off completely?
Try this:
Edit | Preferences | Browser | Downloads
(o) Don't open anything
(•) Open a progress dialog
(o) Open the download manager
or
(•) Don't open anything
(o) Open a progress dialog
(o) Open the download manager
