UI: Add a Download Button for Easier Access

[baur]

Not urgent but nice to have feature:

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Many users are unaware of the context menu for downloading files. In our case, 80% of user actions involve downloading files, and making this feature more accessible would improve the user experience.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a column with a Download button next to each file. This would make downloading more intuitive for users who may not be familiar with the context menu.

How to Enable These Features?

• Markdown File Preview
• Easy Access Download Button

By default, I don't see any effect. I've installed the latest release: [Beta v0.5.2].

Markdown files always open in markdown viewer first for any ".md" files.

The download button is enabled in profile settings:

You're right , it was built with the previous again, v0.5.1 code . I need to figure out why that keeps happening.

The binaries in the v0.5.2 beta release page should be accurate now

fixed 👍

Love this feature, question. Can the DL button, when clicked, NOT open the file and just trigger the download function?

[gtsteffaniak]

I thought thats what it was doing when I tested it, what browser do you use? I'm guessing safari or ios?

I just tested on safari and I think I can reproduce the issue -- I already have a potential fix for this, but it will come in 1-2 weeks when v0.5.4 is released.

Chrome, self hosted, open ports. I find a M4A file, click download and it opens it to the player and starts the download.

[gtsteffaniak]

not sure if you are using docker, if you are, you are free to try 0.5.4-dev tag which has a potential fix, would be great to have the feedback earlier

Windows 10, so not helpful there I am afraid.

[gtsteffaniak]

no worries , I just creaetd a dev release. If you wouldn't mind trying that out -- would help since I am not fully sure what the issue is.
