Any change you can set the content type for the plugins? When people download plugins on Windows with IE8 with some security settings, IE will rename the .plugin file to .zip.

Should be fixed now, thanks to a very helpful web host.  Let me know if IE8 is still misbehaving.


Cheers,

IE8 still suggests to save the mnemogogo plugin (and other .plugin files) as a .zip file, but if I change the "file type" dropbox entry to all files, I can enter the .plugin extention before I save it. I see the same with cards, where they don't get the .cards extension by default. I tested this on another machine running IE10, and the same thing happens.

This is no big deal for me, since I run linux. But for lots of users, including a colleague of mine, this make it impossible for them to install plugins and add users contributed cards.

Ok, I tried a different fix.  I don't have IE handy write now to test.  Please let me know if you're still having problems with this.


Cheers,

Still the same problem in IE8. Don't have IE9 available today.

Ok, I have applied another, different fix.  Please let me know if this one works on IE8.
