Looking in the sources of this extension, I've found it includes 2 types of MIME for XLS.
Try to use the following MIME (when doing these steps), for the XLS:
*.xls
application/msexcel
Change "application/vnd.ms-excel" to "application/msexcel"
If that doesn't work, then I had no idea on how to solve this, sorry...
If it works when using HFS3, then we could make it work with HFS2.
Your last message reminded me a very important step that I've forgotten.
Please try this:
1) In HFS press F5 to switch to expert mode (if you are not already using it).
2) Go to: Menu > Other options > Open directly in browser...
It opens a window, showing this list:Code: [Select]*.htm;*.html;*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.gif;*.png;*.txt;*.swf;*.svg
Now, add to the end of that list the following:Code: [Select];*.pdf;*.doc;*.docx;*.xls;*.xlsx;*.ppt;*.pptx
Or replace all the text with this:Code: [Select]*.htm;*.html;*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.gif;*.png;*.txt;*.swf;*.svg;*.pdf;*.doc;*.docx;*.xls;*.xlsx;*.ppt;*.pptx
Please report if that solves your issue or not.
(and sorry for my forgetfulness)
Only XLS keeps downloading
Then it could probably be a problem of the extension itself.If you read the comments and reviews of it, you will find most users are complaining that -lately- the extension is not working correctly. I'm almost sure they broke 'something', and unless you find an older 'working version' of the extension, most of the time when this happens there is no solution (until they decide to fix it). That's why I always make a personal local backup of every extension I use. That's all I can help, at least for now. Please leave a comment if you find a solution, as reference for other users.
OK, here is the Chrome extension you are talking about:
Office Editing for Docs, Sheets & Slides - v145.610.617
"View and edit Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files with Google Docs, Sheets and Slides."
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/office-editing-for-docs-s/gbkeegbaiigmenfmjfclcdgdpimamgkj?hl=en
Let's try to solve this...
1) In HFS press F5 to switch to expert mode.
2) Go to: Menu > Other options > MIME types...
(or press F7 and click on 'MIME types' tab)
Manually add the following mime types:
(The first line goes in "File Mask")
(The second line goes in "MIME Description")
application/pdf
*.doc
application/msword
*.docx
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document
*.xls
application/vnd.ms-excel
*.xlsx
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet
*.ppt
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint
*.pptx
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation
...or if you save your settings to 'hfs.ini', search for the line
"mime-types", and directly add the following to the end of that line:Code: [Select]|*.pdf|application/pdf|*.doc|application/msword|*.docx|application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document|*.xls|application/vnd.ms-excel|*.xlsx|application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet|*.ppt|application/vnd.ms-powerpoint|*.pptx|application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation
(This info was taken from a comprehensive list, that I've found here)
Save your HFS configuration, restart HFS and restart your browser.
Please leave a comment here if this has solved (or not) your problem.
but you said it used to work, so, what changed? Maybe you changed mime configuration in HFS ?
if you didn't change anything, then it's probably the browser extension that got updated. Maybe it stopped supporting some cases. (I don't have that installed)
Anyway, Chrome opens pdf without any extension. It works fine here.
you didn't answer my first question
i'm a bit confused.
You have docx+xls correctly working, so the problem is pdf ?
and what HFS version are you using?
