Description

For large attachments, the most prominent action on the page is the delete attachment button. The link to the attachment is small and non obvious. I suggest that there should be a download button to download the attachment and that the delete button should be clearly separated from it.

Well, we could add a download button, though that would be redundant with the "Download in other format" link just below it.

I don't think it's a real problem though, as the button is very prominently entitled Delete and even if you miss that, you get to a confirmation dialog before deleting the attachment for real.

I found it annoying as well to have a Delete button much larger than Download links. Before I got used to it, I made it to confirmation several times before I realized I don't want to delete the attachment.

It bugs me every time since I have to search the fairly small download link in the page with such a big delete button. IMHO the biggest thing should be what most users want to do.
