Is there any way to use Pocket IE to download a file
(as you would in desktop IE. rightclick and "save target as"
?
I use my Jornada 690 mainly for ebook reading and some web browsing. I have Mobipocket reader and Ansyr Primer for pdf's. If I'm on a web page with a link to mobi or pdf files and I click on the link, sometimes I get a "do you want to save this file" and life is good, but more often it tries to open the file directly in PIE, and naturally I get garbage on the screen. If I try to "save as" from that point, I get a file that Mobipocket or Primer say is corrupt and can't open.
I've also tried Conduit Pocket Browser, and although that has a way to download a link which sometimes works, it has other problems
(like frequently locking up and plain refusing to load some web pages
).
I'd really like for it to simply download the file when I click on it and then open it in Mobi or Primer, as appropriate, just like it would in any desktop browser without a plugin installed.
Or am I trying to force an obsolete OS to do tricks it's not capable of?
