Add option to save unsupported mime-type files

[redterminal-org]

I'm not sure, if I'm doing something wrong, but rogallo always wants to open the link to an unsupported mime-type file in another program (I guess it's taken from the $BROWSER variable in the shell), which is in my case qutebrowser, which can't open gemini links.

It would be cool, if you could add a "save to file" button or something for unsupported mime-type files.

Thanks for your awesome work as always,

Rogallo uses the open function from Python's builtin webbrowser module. The effect for me, on macOS at least, is that the most appropriate application based on the URI's protocol will be called on to handle the request. So, in my case, if it's a gemini protocol URI (for example) it'll be delegated to Lagrange. This has the handy effect that anything graphical gets passed up from Rogallo to Lagrange.

Presumably something similar can be configured on your OS? (not that I mean you should also have Lagrange installed; more that perhaps gemini URIs could be handled by a tool that simply retrieves the data).

All that said though, I like the idea of adding the option to download. That should be fairly straightforward and I'm pretty sure I've had a couple of situations where I'd have found it useful too.

Planning in #478 -- I think it would also be sensible to add the ability to elect to download whatever's on the other end of a highlighted link (much like you can press o to externally open a link, right now).

Yes, I have the exact same setup on my other machines: It hands over the link to Lagrange.

The thing is, I'm currently building my first NixOS system and haven't installed and configured Lagrange yet. And for me Lagrange, despite all its luxury, defeats the purpose for Gemini for me, if I must use a graphical browser for text centric protocols, but maybe I'll add Lagrange to my NixOS later.

But still, having a download button would be cool.

I still want to do some testing, as this has touched a lot of core code, but #488 is pretty much done.

Now merged into main and will be in the next release.
