Google Chrome vs File Downloader
Greetings
I found a funny nuance in my work with Google Chrome today, namely, I managed to stop this very work.
in the following way:
1. First, go to any site where you can add files (but preferably pictures / photos), let's say on the same www.google.com/imghp
2. Select “Upload File” -> “Select File”.
3. In the opened explorer, find any picture and, now carefully (!), Drag it with the mouse to the browser, thereby creating a new tab with it.
4. Complete the download with any other image.
5. Enjoy browser attempts to make sense of what is happening.
From the observations it is also known that the images involved earlier do not cause errors, only new ones. It does not work in 100% of cases. Usually on * .png format, but if the path is long (the only rationale I noticed), then * .jpg will work. Plus, the probability of error is higher, the heavier the picture will be in a new tab.
Actually, the experiment was conducted on a fresh, stable build: Google Chrome: 21.0.1180.89
Laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate on board.
')
By the way, none of the browsers on hand, including IE9, Firefox 12, Maxthon 3.3.8.3000, do not initially provide the ability to play the third item.
(Maybe where it was already mentioned. I didn’t seem to have found it).
upd: The user masterrr has kindly provided a video tutorial on recreating the error (even one item on the list is shorter), for which he thanks.
