Hi Russ,

you should change the disposition of your entrypoint

this entrypoint always download the file instead of previewing it in the browser

thanks a lot but how do I do it ?

Change this line

https://github.com/espocrm/espocrm/blob/80561c65fce04bf429f404342722fcfd7a7b3496/application/Espo/EntryPoints/Download.php#L88C29-L88C29

from 'inline' to 'attachment'

Changing the source code is a bad practice. Any update overwrites the made changes.
In this case, the correct way is to create (or edit) the file Custom\Espo\Custom\Resources\metadata\app\file.jso n and define in it the files that should be shown inline. By default, the list is:
``` "inlineMimeTypeList": [
"application/pdf",
"audio/wav",
"audio/mpeg",
"audio/ogg",
"audio/webm",
"video/mpeg",
"video/mp4",
"video/ogg",
"video/webm",
"image/jpeg",
"image/png",
"image/gif",
"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document",
"application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet",
"application/vnd.ms-word",
"application/vnd.ms-excel",
"application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text",
"application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet",
"application/msword",
"application/msexcel"
]
```
You just need to remove "text/plain" and others that need to be downloaded.
