Problem Definition
When setting a file attachment on a page to show as link instead of show as thumbnail, the link opens the preview panel, rather than going straight to direct download.
Suggested Solution
- Add an option to list a file as a link for download, not just to list the link.
- Or add the option to open or preview the file when clicking a text link to an attachment.
Workarounds
Workaround 1: Middle Click
- You can middle-click the text link and a download Window should open
- If you do not have the middle click option on your mouse, you can hold ctrl (Windows) or command (Mac) and then left-click the link with your mouse
Workaround 2: Right-click to "Save as"
- Set your file to show as link when inserting it to the page in the editor
- Right-click the file link on the page when viewing the page
- Click your browser's version of the Save as functionality
- The file will be saved rather than previewed
