Here is more detail from other users about this issue with Google Chrome at Google Groups: (scroll up to read from the beginning.)
#Google chrome not opening yahoo mail download#
This can become cumbersome if the download location has some file I want to keep and some that I do not want to keep." But if I save them, I have to go and specifically delete them from the download location. If I just open them, they would be deleted by the IE (and hopefully Chrome) automatically once I close them. This is a big hassle as I do not want to save the documents, just want to read them. It does not give me an option only to open it.
When I click on the download button on the document, Chrome asks me where would I like to save the attachment. Mostly I do not want to download them to my PC. I want to give credit to Google Chrome Groups and a post below from a user that may better explain what I am trying to say, because the user and I have the same experiance: I understand now that this has nothing to do with Avast. The main point is, could Avast maybe do anything to expidite the process of getting the ability to open e-mail attatchments in Chrome without having to download them first? Every other browser has a direct open attatchment option without the need to download from an e-mail. Since Avast has a relationship with Google Chrome, my question is, What would be an advantage of not having a direct way to open e-mail attatchments? The only thing I could think of would be that Google Chrome is using that extra step as a form of allowing people to think before opening up attatchments to reduce virual infections? I can't think of what else it would be. Is there any reason why Google Chrome has yet to impliment an Open attatchment option directly from a web browser? I checked the Google Help files for Chrome, and this request has been forwarded to the Google Chrome Developers for the past 3 years! It's the only workaround to get files to Open directly from the mail client in Chrome.
I have a file path in Google Chrome's Download Manager to a subfolder in My Documents, called Temp Downloads.
The point is, WHY DOES CHROME NOT PROVIDE AN OPTION TO JUST OPEN UP ANY ATTACHMENTS FROM BY CLICKING ON THEM FROM YOUR E-MAIL INBOX? Maybe G-Mail will open normally, and I know that my photo attachments opened in Yahoo Mail's slide show application. If you check the option to "Ask me where to download files each time." by checking it, you will only be able to download ANY attachments to your hard drive. But in reality, attachment afaik goes to the "Download" folder. The default setting for downloads is to automatically open all documents by clicking on a doc attachment in the download information bar at the bottom of the screen, so you will think that you are just opening up the attachment. You can Rename, Delete, and/or change this folder in the path settings for Google Chrome. "By default, Google Chrome saves ALL downloads by creating a "Downloads" folder and placing it in your "My Documents" folder at installation. I have Yahoo Mail and love it! However, here is the issue with the Download Manager and a workaround: "You cannot open up attachments in e-mail directly from the e-mail itself! You have to download them!" I found out this is true in ALL of Google Chrome's relationships with e-mail clients, except for G-Mail, which I think can open normally. But the lack of this one basic feature is absolutely laughable!
I really like Google Chrome for its speed and security, as well as its modern look.
