In past versions of OmniWeb, if I browsed to a plain text file, such as this one, I could then save the file as-is to my hard drive. In 5.5b2, however, when I try to save the file, OmniWeb insists on saving it as a web archive. Needless to say, this makes the file useless to me. OmniWeb should only save HTML documents as web archives, not all documents.

You can change the pulldown to "source."

Ah, forgot about that. But surely that should be the default for plain-text files...

In that case, here's a couple other related threads:

In your case, it's a .bib file. AFAICT, that's not always text. I'm sure there's more to this.

No, BibTeX files are always plain-text. Or do you mean .bib could be a completely different (possibly binary) format? Even then, I don't see how it would matter. WebArchive files are for web files only. That is, anything HTML. So, OmniWeb doesn't have to know whether a file is binary or text or whatever; it just has to check whether the file is HTML or not, and that should be easy enough.

I searched for files that use the .bib extension, there are more than BibTeX.

There's so much more on the web than HTML.
