Re: Media View: specifying the filename when download => false

yes - last week after upgrading to 2.0 I had the same problem.
I wanted to render files as pdf automatically (/controller/action/
[ID].pdf)
and it always returned the ID
no matter what I did.
after some research I found out that this is a well known bug in
almost all browsers
they simply ignore the "inline filename" header
thats probably why cakephp doesnt even bother setting it^^

see my post from last week about this topic:

Its not the media view but I think it should work in your case, as
well, if you make sure that
all files are served as "/controller/action/ID/this-is-the-actual-
filename.pdf"
