I just tried clicking on them all. pdf and txt were handled appropriately. .vit and .val appear to be treated as txt
Still not working right.
The .txt file should be downloaded, should NOT open in a browser tab.
Same for the .vit and .val files.
I thought that’s what Right Mouse → Save link as… is for? 
Anyhow… the links lack the download in the href tag. ? Interesting… I added the option below and it gets stripped out by the server ???
This is what I attached…
< a class=“attachment” href=“//forum.seamly.io/uploads/db1488/original/2X/5/5819ecc87edb15eb51ff794f7ab9e0503524dd81.txt” download>test.txt
And it doesn’t even open the file in a NEW browser tab! It opens in the forum tab, so you have to “arrow” back to this page!!! It’s not doing something right…
It opens in a new tab for me… I’m using Chrome.
(Is it my imagination, or is there no place in this forum that says what software is running it?)
You’re correct. I’m starting a thread on this, to document the admin info, in case I get hit by the banana truck.

Download bvehaviour This is typically a result of the .extension_name not being present in the mime.types file on the host server or a .htaccess file/some such similar override
I think it should be something like
application/valentina+xml val
application/tape+xml vit
