User-Agent: Mozilla/4.79 [en] (Win98; U) Build Identifier: Most recent version of Mozilla In order to serve our academic clientele (I teach at JHU and at the U of Md Law School, I need a browser that will permit a third party viewer for jpg UNLESS you build in a magnifying glass and viable print function (shrinking/expanding to page size). We would be happy to assist in the development costs of making Mozilla work this way. Ed Papenfuse State Archivist Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.go to http://ecpclio.net/megafile/msa/speccol/sc5300/sc5339/000060/000000/000001/restr icted/megafile/ecp/4/03452/html/index.html 2. Click on the cover to access the jpg 3. see that it is impossible to associate the browser with a third party viewer that has a decent sizing function (magnifying glass) and print module (ability to print the jpg out to the size of the paper at high/good resolution Actual Results: Only internal jpg viewer launches and printing is impossible for any jpg larger than the pixel equivalent of ca. 8 1/2 inches wide. Expected Results: launched an associated third party viewer such as IRFAN, Kodakimg.exe, photoshop, etc.
Old summary: This is a flaw that severely limits the academic use of the browser. I have tried using a variety of third party jpg viewers (IRFAN for example) without success. Can this be fixed. It is also a debilitating problem with IE which they refuse to fix. Only Opera and Netscape Communicator 4.79 do not have this bug. ->File handling
