Developers,
I have a gripe about the new feature of providing a hyperlink to
the Lynx help file in the "Lynx Download Options" page. This page comes
up whenever a user chooses a link to a binary file and chooses to download
it. I'm used to being able to simply press "Enter" to select save to disk
(as it's the first option), while now I have to press the down arrow first
to get off the help hyperlink, and get to the save line. This is
annoying, but I could get used to it. What's really driving me nuts, is
that if I accidentally choose the link to the help file, when I press the
left arrow to go back, I wind up back at the original page that the binary
file was listed on, and I've lost the option to save it to disk, thus
forcing me to re-download it, and wait while it (possibly slowly)
transfers over the network.
My suggestion is to either move the help link to a location
_below_ the save to disk option, or make it so that pressing the left
arrow after accidentally entering the help file goes back to the Download
Options dialog. Thanks a bunch for continuing to improve Lynx and for
considering my suggestion. I don't subscribe to the mailing list, so any
responses intended for me should be CC:address@hidden
