      Description:

      When a dataset isn’t able to generate a preview, the “download” buttons
      that are in the main dataset area and in the “More information” area change
      their names and symbols and become a “Go to resource” button, but its
      functionality still are allowing you to download the resource.

      As well as it says nothing about a download you would think the one
      included in the “More information” area have another functionality (In the
      tester’s case, he thinks it is a “Go to the main area for the resource”
      button), but instead of that, the button asked us about downloading the
      resource.

      It isn’t an error, but that could generate some kind of confusion, so we
      suggest to rename it again to “Download”.

      Two screenshots are attached showing the renamed buttons.

        "Nowadays our ckan instance only it's able to preview files which are listed here http://docs.ckan.org/en/1117-start-new-test-suite/data-viewer.html and also several additional formats provided by ckan extensions.

        If someone uploads or links that has no previewer asigned, Ckan treats the resource as a link not as a file. Maybe in some cases you're right and it has more sense a download button label, however in other cases a label change has no sense.

        There are a lot of file formats so it's imposible to check everyone in order to choose the button label."
