Bug ID: 432696
Summary: unable to disable internal pdf viewer
Product: Falkon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: now...@gmail.com
Reporter: ka...@seznam.cz
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Falkon does not provide any way to disable the internal pdf viewer. This is
very annoying and frustrating, if I should stay polite ...
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. search for some pdf
2. clink the link
OBSERVED RESULT
pseudo address like
chrome-extension://mhjfbmdgcfjbbpaeojofohoefgiehjai/index.html?file.pdf
is opened and the document content is displayed
no option to save file available - see also bug 428106
EXPECTED RESULT
the usual file dialogue appears, just like with other "non web" files, which
offers to open the file via the default application, to choose another
appplication or to save the file
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.77.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.77.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Trying to search how to work around this, it looks like Chrome has a special
option for disabling the built-in viewer. I haven't found anything like this in
Falkon, and, in addition, I think it should be disabled by default because the
system default viewer is usually far superior - why does the browser integrate
its own PDF viewer in the first place??? Just because Google now uses the same
practices as Microsoft did (and for which it was punished by various antitrust
offices) everyone has to follow the suit and bring the same misery to the
users?
