"Open With" in Download Manager
-
Please give us an option to have an "Open With" context menu in the Download Manager. Sometimes I'd like to launch my downloads not necessarily with the default application and this would be a useful feature to have. Currently, I end up having to go to my Downloads folder and then having to use the native OS context menu in the file manager and use the "Open With" feature of the file manager. This would eliminate that step.
Thanks.

@ahhalai Are you asking for Support for MIME Types?

Not exactly. Let's say I download a *.jpg file from somewhere. I want to open it in Photoshop or GIMP versus my default Image viewer. So double clicking on the file would open it in the default application/viewer, my request is that if I right click on the file it gives me an "Open With" dialog which lists common apps that can handle that file.

A very big "+1"

I have written before about how primitive the download manager is in Vivaldi, options, where it downloads some items to, etc. It needs some work.
-
Interface for utilizing external third party download manager would also work for now.

Such feature would be very useful for me when clicking on a PDF link. Depending of what I'd like to do with the PDF I can be interested in viewing in the the browser, storing it to disk, but also open with an alternate viewer (such as xournal or some viewer allowing edition).

perhaps you've noticed that this 'ask' is 3 years old. Apparently not of concern to vivaldi.

@astro46 The team are always working to improve the browser. Their priorities may not be the same as yours and mine.
I asked Jón about the Decision-making process some time ago
All it takes to open any downloaded file is to click the magnifying glass in the Downloads Panel, then double-click the file when it opens in your file manager.
Support for MIME Types is equally old, and has a hundred more votes. It will get done when the Team have time.

I think that we already know this. This has been the only way to view some pdf through vivaldi. Though I never bothered going through the downloads panel. Since I have to go through the download saving windows already, I know where the pdf is saved.
