Configuration setting to add query parameter to download links
demiankatz opened this issue · comments
It is possible that users may wish to control download behavior of links in the download menu -- some might prefer to have links open in a new tab, while others might prefer to have them download directly to the download folder of the browser. This behavior is controlled by server-side HTTP headers which cannot be changed from the client side. Thus, an implementation with full control might require the server-side code to react to query parameters in order to set appropriate headers. The UV cannot fully control this, but we could add a configuration setting to add optional query parameters to image links in the download menu, which the server-side code could be configured to act upon.
Prior to implementing this, we should identify more specific use cases so that we can design this as flexibly as possible.
