Salty Wagyu Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Hello, if people could check for me for e.g. this icon image file on Rocketdock's site: http://rocketdock.com/addons/icons/1648 Do you find any difficulties in trying to save the image when clicking Download File? Once its clicked it directly links to the PNG and displays it in browser just fine, but when you try to save the image (or "Save Link As.." on Download File) both methods wants to save it as a html file. On further investigating this I found the html download was in fact binary so I renamed the extension to png to fix this. But is there any way to change the behaviour of this? The Download Actions menu in Options> Content> Manage seems somewhat empty for anything related to PNG or other image formats with no way to add any new ones (perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place?). Thanks. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/634254-firefoxs-handling-of-png-troubles/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev_B Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 It works fine, but I've had similar troubles with PNGs in Firefox. I'm using Firefox 3 Beta 5 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/634254-firefoxs-handling-of-png-troubles/#findComment-589365686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted April 30, 2008 Veteran Share Posted April 30, 2008 This is a bug which has been in for a long time (Neowin exposes it when you click on the full size links for resized, hosted images) Instead of right clicking on the image, right click on the background and select "Save Page As", It'll get the right file extension then.

Guest xiphi Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Sadly this bug still exists in Firefox 3 Beta 5. :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/634254-firefoxs-handling-of-png-troubles/#findComment-589365702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty Wagyu Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Instead of right clicking on the image, right click on the background and select "Save Page As", It'll get the right file extension then. Yup, that seems to work good to save the png file. Thanks To the other posters, you're not being very clear on "it works fine here". Sure the png shows fine in firefox but that's not what I'm asking. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/634254-firefoxs-handling-of-png-troubles/#findComment-589365770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Carlton Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Yup, that seems to work good to save the png file. ThanksTo the other posters, you're not being very clear on "it works fine here". Sure the png shows fine in firefox but that's not what I'm asking. :) About the "works fine here" people, I think it's a pretty clear message they're sending. Any combination of clicking to save the image results in a png file being saved. AKA it works fine and others don't have the problem.
