I really mention it because some linux using friends of mine were surprised that you couldn't just click on an MP3 and hear it, you have to download it first. -- Dan Ellis

Then a button would be more appropriate than a check box. However the established method used by all other RISC OS browsers, is to directly run known types (for which there are applications available to handle them, such as PDF and audio), and only offer the save box when shift clicking on the link. This cuts out an additional step the user has to perform to achieve the most common action, which is to view/listen to content from webpages.

Its difficult for a mail client (or other non browsers displaying a URL) to act on the wish of the user via a shift click, as the URI dispatch mechanism doesn't lend itself to specifying save rather than view. Also as it may have to start the browser if not running, shift held down may stop applications from loading correctly (any Filer_Runs used in !Run). A partial solution is for the target application (run by the browser to handle the file) to offer a save facility. For example !PDF allows you to save the temporary downloaded file to a the desired location, via the menu. A solution which could be implemented by the browser is to distinguish between lauches of non HTML types either from external URI dispatches or entered URL's, as opposed to those from links on a displayed web page (where shift click may be used), and offer a view or save dialog.
