Can't figure this out, absolutely no way:

When clicking File/Image/Link > Save as, there appears a suggested name and the filetype, which may be different from the URL (like the "sourceforge"-logo on the left side here: sflogo.sourceforge.net/sflogo.php?group_id=14285&type=1).

How can I figure out that name+type for a macro variable??

Or how to get a given variable into the suggested save-name field?
Or better, how to save a page/image/link to disk and reopen from there with another program, all in one macro/menu entry?
Suppose that may require some javascript, but have ZERO clue of that, and those scripts look all horribly complicated to me, even the smallest snippets :-/

Perhaps anyone know...? *hoping*

For me, even the extension is not ok, it gives me sflogo.php, but the type given is the right type : PNG image (*.png)

You have just to correct the extension, and it works ...

Edit :
hum, it seems I haven't understood all what you where asking for.

A little bit complicated ...

When clicking File/Image/Link >

I don't understand. I do not have a "Image" item under the "File" menu.

the image format>get file extension is parsed through the gecko engine not through the macro language

Found something with javascript on the web, but not the slightest idea about the syntax to get it into a macro variable, and/or how to change the save-name:

Quote

Structure for holding info about a URL and the target filename it should be saved to. This structure is populated by initFileInfo(...).
@param aSuggestedFileName This is used by initFileInfo(...) when it cannot 'discover' the filename from the url
@param aFileName The target filename
@param aFileExt The extension of the filename

function FileInfo(aSuggestedFileName, aFileName, aFileBaseName, aFileExt, aUri) {
this.suggestedFileName = aSuggestedFileName;
this.fileName = aFileName;
this.fileExt = aFileExt;}
