      File bbcode direct attachment download for non-image files.

      For the file bbcode with non-image attachments, it would be great if there was a way to render a kind of embedded or inline version of the attachment page and provide a direct download link.

      I have created three mock ups of how this suggestion could be implemented ... there may be others. Option A or B look the neatest I think. Option C would would allow for the additional details to be fetched on demand, in case querying these details on page load is a performance issue. Perhaps the MIME type could even be omitted from this view, leaving Download and File Size.

      Thank you for the, as always, superb mockups. Personally, I like the way B looks, although I am not yet sure how it would be made to work for images. However, the problem with providing a direct download link and with also showing the file info, is no longer one of performance (that issue was resolved somewhere around 4.0.6), but that the link is located in text that is cached, generally for all users; whereas viewing the file info and/or downloading the file is permissions-defined, and permissions vary from user to user. Because of this, the information would most likely have to be AJAX-loaded in some way, which option C is more friendly towards. In that way, for images, option C could take the form of a much-needed lightbox having these info/links to resolve that question of how to handle them.
