K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
Hi, I just installed K-Meleon and I am learning how to use it. Couldn't find my problem in the forum. When I want to download a file, the Open button on the download dialog box is greyed out and all I can do is save it. Why is the Open button inactive? I searched through preferences, but couldn't find a way to turn it on.
Thanks
does this happen with all kind of files or with certain extensions only?
also if you're using windows vista.. it could be due to folder permissions/zones.. and maybe because the cache folder is in a high(locked) zone, kmeleon cannot execute the file directly from there.
you'll need to be an administrator on that machine, and change 'elevation' for that folder.
understanding vista's UAC:

KKo, I can't log in Kmeleon bug tracking so this is an answer for your comment for bug 1044: From ftp from my company (with a password which I can't give you) I couldn't downloaded pictures. After I set Kmeleon to be default browser for all protocols and file tipes, all was OK.
