Open downloaded file automatically

Hi,
I think it will be very nice to have an additional option in the download window that allows opening the downloaded file automatically. The option can be checked and unckecked by the user just like the "automatically close window after download'" option is used I think it will be very useful in many occasions..

Thank you

Opening a downloaded file automatically may cause security problems. You may accidentally download a virus or something similar and run it....

That's why I said to add an "option" which you can check or unckeck.

Well, that's OK with me.

However, in my opinion, the default should always be set to off, and the setting should not be saved so that you have to check the option everytime you start a download that you want to be automatically opened.

Even with that, you can always accidentally check it....
