Comment #42 on issue 9023 by politicalslug: Enable downloads to a temporary location (view vs. save) http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=9023
I can't believe this has been ongoing for over 9 months. That's insane! Until either the ability to open a file is either enabled natively (as is the case with Internet Explorer) or enabled through a plugin (like OpenDownload with Firefox) I can't use Chrome as my primary browser. It's that simple. Additionally I need the option that Firefox gives with a per file type basis (i.e. '.avi' opens with windows media and '.mpeg' opens with VLC). This is so simple to implement (at least the 'OPEN' instead of downloading is, because Firefox added this with a few KB extension called 'OpenDownload'). There is nothing left to think on. Any further issues Chrome has with decided which way to go, you should develop extensions to give the user the option to decide for themselves.
