In this section, you can set some basic options controlling Galeon's behavior with regard to downloading files via HTTP. The Auto download dropdown list selects whether Galeon will immediately download the file when you click on the link, or present you with a dialog box confirming its actions first. You can also select whether you'd like to be prompted for a location to save the file to every time, and the directory that will be used as a default.
![]() | Auto download and GTM |
---|---|
If you are using GTM to transfer files (the default option), you'll also need to configure GTM to get auto download working. Launch GTM and select the Auto tab in its preferences dialog. The Interface to connect: must be set to the correct interface for auto download to work. If you are unsure what interface you are using, type ifconfig in a terminal window and look at the output. If you are using a modem, you are likely using "ppp0". If you are using an ethernet connection (this includes cable modems and DSL), you are likely using "eth0". |
The Program to use dropdown list and Command text entry box let you choose between using the Gnome Transfer Manager or a different program of your choosing. If you choose Other (use command line), the specified command will be executed when you attempt to download a file through the HTTP protocol. The first occurence of the string %s will be replaced by the file's URL, and the second will be replaced with the default download folder (or if you have Ask for destination folder on each download enabled, the folder that you choose in the dialog box). Commands calling several popular programs that may be installed on your system can be selected by clicking the arrow to the right of the text entry box.
In this section, you can select how Galeon will handle "ftp://" links. If Mozilla is selected, Mozilla's built-in FTP handler will be used. If External download handler is selected, Galeon will use the GNOME FTP handler that you have specified in the GNOME Control Center. For more information on configuring your GNOME URL handlers, consult the section called Configuring the GNOME URL handlers>.
Here, you can select whether HTML source code will be viewed within a Galeon browser window, or if you'd prefer to use an external program to view it.
This section controls what Galeon will do when encountering different types of files. If Galeon MIME handling is enabled, Galeon will use the list displayed here to determine what course of action should be taken with files with different MIME types. You can add and delete MIME types here and modify the action that Galeon will perform for each. Currently, these actions are limited to saving the file to disk, attempting to display it within Galeon, and prompting the user each time a file is about to be opened.
