Description

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.

This has been a problem for my CRM users for a couple of years now. It's a shame that a 3rd party had to be the one to come along and fix Microsoft's mess, but at least it's fixed. Thank you, devs.
