Description

In a collection file view, there are two buttons. One tries to view the file in the browser; the other forces a download prompt.

  • The "in-browser view" button uses the fa-search icon, which is counterintuitive and confusing.
  • Considering the data that typically goes into Arvados, much of it is not typically viewable in-browser. This makes it seem like both buttons are a download button, which increases confusion. Consider ways to make this clearer. (Maybe only offer inline view for files that reasonably look viewable, like not-too-large TXT, PDF, and image files? Just one idea.)
