How to make pictures viewable with helper app?

I have some png and jpeg pictures on my site.
but when you click on them from a browser, they open as a new page so to speak.
I want the open/save dialogue to open, so that the picture can be viewed in a helper app.
How do I do?

Gustav

Hi Gustav,

the open/save will only open if the browser doesn't know how to display a picture, because it is not a picture format the browser is able to display. So you have bad chances with .jpg and .gif files.
So either you use picture formats that are not regognized by the browser or you change the HTTP headers from image/jpeg and image/gif to something the browser doesn't know how to deal with.

Regards
Jurgen
