Documents require saving before opening

[cchalmers]

Can you please advise how I can set hornbill to open documents directly. Currently I am having to save every document locally before I can open these.

If you are working in Chrome, you can click on the attachment and choose the open this file type automatically. It still gets saved to your download folder but opens automatically. There is a similar option in Internet Explorer and Firefox I believe.

Where would I find this, I'm I being stupid?

As soon as I click the option it brings the save as option with and open option lie I would expect.

Thank you for the reply

If you are in Internet Explorer you have to first download an attachment of the type you want to open automatically. Then when viewing it in downloads, right hand click on the file and there should be an option to uncheck 'Always ask before opening the type of file'.
