Ah, that's perfect. Firefox honors it on Save As..., and Safari honors it on both Save As... and when dragging the image to another app or the Finder. Thanks a bunch!

giving a filename hint to the browser?
I have a module that is serving out images in various formats and resolution. Our canonical format is: /operation/image/resolution for example, to get a jpeg thumbnail of foo.tif 256 pixels: http://myserver/thumb/foo.tif/256-wide-jpg This is all working well now and fits in with how other parts of our system think about images, but I'm curious if there is a way to hint to the browser a save-as filename. Currently if you save the file (or drag the image to the desktop), the default name will be 256-wide-jpg.jpg, and it might be nice to save it as foo.tif.thumbnail.jpg or some such. Many TIA! Mark
