A really impressive software. There's only one thing I don't like so far. Is it better to open PDF attachment in web browser or add a "download" button in the preview window?

Comment by lvli007, Nov 24, 2008

To force Welly to open a url in system default browser, just press "shift" when clicking the url:)

Comment by uiltrams, Nov 24, 2008

@lvli007 Thanks. But can we have a option to select where to open PDF or image files (such as inside Welly or in Preview or somewhere else)?

Comment by lvli007, Nov 24, 2008

Well.....In our design, we think an option might significantly slows down the user's operation when previewing an image or pdf file, while the functions we provided is nearly surfficient to replace an "option" or "option window" in opening an attachment.

btw. to save the attachments from the preview window, just drag it to the place you wanna save it (such as you desktop):)

Comment by uiltrams, Nov 25, 2008

Just another problem. hope you don't mind ;) Super Download seems don't support sites like ptt.cc

Comment by uiltrams, Dec 05, 2008

There seems a little bug of picture downloading in 2.0RC. When I click a link in Welly, the Growl message shows "the size downloaded of the size of the picture". On my machine, the size of the picture is always "0 byte".

Comment by lvli007, Dec 16, 2008

@uiltrams We think this bug is fixed in 2.0RC1 Update1...
