[Casper] Exporting a tab delimited inventory search

[Ernst, Craig S.]

Hi Betty,

I'm not really sure there is a way like it use to be. Both Safari (3.0) and FireFox just open the page instead of prompting as a download as a regular text file.

FireFox seems to handle this better when the text file is displayed in the browser. You can just select 'File -> Save Page As' and it at least understands that you want to save it as a text file. Safari wants to append some dumb extension.

I don't think there is another way around it.

Hello * I am using the new Casper Suite 5.1 and attempting to export a tab delimited text file after doing an inventory search in the JSS. The original search is viewed as a Standard Web Page. After my results are displayed, I select "Tab" from the drop down View Results As: menu on the bottom. When I click the Go button, it opens a new window in Safari with the text instead of downloading the file. I'm sure there is an easy solution for this but I can't seem to find it. In the old Casper Suite 3.2, I used to be able to option-click on the link to download the text file. Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,
