Support for MIME Types
-
I don't care about overriding what the system does with a file, I just want the equivalent of Chrome's "always open files of this type" so that when I click on a Citrix button I then don't have to go to downloads and manually tell it to open the downloaded .ica file.

@3vi1 They should at least enable an "option lick" - and show the first text in the file : ":JPEG version" should open a display for pictures - not just "MIME" compliant setting. It is all in the first bytes in the file for all Unix based objects. It is Windows that introduced the "ending" or "suffix" to the file, suggesting a category of applications to open an object. This used to be held in the file itself and is still in the file.
Then if we say it is this and that application - then the content of the file should override the MIME setting, or at least be open to considering to override. -
This is one of the top feature requests. It used to be tagged as Nice to Have. Why is it not tagged as In Progress or Pipeline yet?

With mail this is becoming a more needed feature - always handling a dialog when opening an attachment is really tedious.

I vote for this. Also, man, how Opera 12 in 2012 was advanced software.

I just need an option to always open downloaded .torrent files like any other browser. How has a basic function like this not been implemented yet?
MIME's would be nice, but could just do with a "Always Open" in the context menu for filetype in question in the Downloads panel.

Have you checked chrome://settings/downloads ?
I believe there's a feature request somewhere asking to add this setting to Vivaldi's settings but couldn't find it right now... -
@j1simon MIME-Type settings are usually handled by the OS.
Some browsers have own setting to override or rember in a session, some not.In Vivaldi such override setting is missing in Settings UI. Not implemented yet.
-
@j1simon Yes and No, you are right here.
The MIME-Typs are related to file endings and associated programs on most OS. -
There's a chrome extension that will change chrome/vivaldi to automatically try to open any file (rather than download), with support for your own defined exceptions.

Is this now available or do I need to some extension?
