Summary
Resolves the apostrophe wrapped file download issue with Dynamics 365. Provided by Reenhanced.com
This will remove the ' character from file downloads so your computer knows what application can open the downloaded file.
There is a bug in Dynamics that saves files with names like 'filename.xls'. For example, if you're downloading a report called CrmReport.xls it gets saved to your computer as 'CrmReport.xls' with the extension of .xls'. This means that your machine isn't able to open the files without a rename.
This is caused because Dynamics does not understand how to send a valid file request response to Edge so it saves the file as surrounded by single quotes.
This simple script identifies when files are downloaded that start and end with ' and simply removes the leading and trailing '.
There is no data stored, no data sent and no records of your usage of this extension are kept.
