File Download Widget gives unknown file!

Hi Knimers,

I recently noticed that the File Download Widget produces an unknown type file if you click on the download link too quick. Maybe the file has not been prepared yet.

If you wait a few seconds and click again, the Excel file is correct. This gets our users confused.

Is there a way to tackle this. I was thinking about 2 possible workarounds:

• Display a ‘Wait’ message in the browser.

• Display the link after a wait node for a few seconds.

I am not sure how to implement either of them.

Any suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks,

Denis
