Request for better "View" features in "Logs & Files"

Opened this issue · 1 comments

I would love to be able to open the "View" of log files not in a pop-up window, but actually in either a new tab or a new window of my browser (like the middle-mouse-click in Firefox/Chrome). But this doesn't work due to some authentication token not being present - right?

Such a feature would enable me to see different processing results in parallel (cycling through tabs) instead of having to open/close different results, forgetting things, going back etc.

There is a similar issue with the Download feature I think: right-mouse click and "Save link as" doesn't work. So one has to just click on it - which is fine for filetypes the browser doesn't know what to do with (they will be saved), but e.g. for HTML files it will then display/render that file (and I need to do another File -> Save action to actually save it). Furthermore, after going back from the rendered HTLM view the overview page in ISPyB/Synchweb has reverted to the initial view and I need to scroll again to the collection I was looking at before (where the tab expansion has now disappeared).

Not sure the above explanations describe well the experience I have ...

Hopefully this will be improved if we use cookies rather than sessionStorage.

Edit: it didn't help.
