Download feature suggestion

[Timothy J. Wood]

  If you alt-click on the link, it will download the file w/o  
opening it.  The downloaded file will be selected in Workspace,  
though.

I hope the developers of OmniWeb listen to this group...

When I download something I would like a choice as to whether to  
attempt to "open" the file received or just save it.  Most of the  
time I just want to save it and I get annoyed when Opener starts  
firing up when I download compressed stuff from an archive site.  It  
would be cool if there was a preference for what to do with  
downloaded files.  The options should be along the lines of: Always  
Open, Always Save, and Ask.  Perhaps an additional modification to  
Always Save option would be whether to prompt for where to save it  
with the Save Panel, or to just save it under some default directory  
I have chosen and not ask me any questions.
