Dynamics CRM File Download Fix Extension

NEW RELEASE 1.3: Manifest v3

There is a bug in On-Premise Microsoft 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 old versions of Microsoft Dynamics do not understand how to send a valid file request response to Chrome 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.

steven parsley (ID: 00000052d64521dc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/28/2020 I am new to CRM (under a year) and have been super frusterated with the single tics on downloads that were happening in Chrome. Today we got a Help desk ticket that i researched and found your chrome plug in.... It worked... Helped the customer right away... Thank you so much for this. I have a very tenured developer on my team that actually worked for microsoft on the CRM team and he didnt know how to fix this. Made me look like a rockstar for the day!!! Great plug in!
