Opera mishandling acsm filetypes

Just a heads up to the Dev team. Opera doesn't seem to handle "ACSM" links properly. When I check out eBooks from my library, instead of being given the option to save the acsm file to disk, or to open with the appropriate application; Opera parses and displays the text in a new window. The only recourse I have at this point is to CTRL + S and save the file with the appropriate file extension and 'all types'.

Update: In Opera's advanced settings I did set the MIME Type acsm and Opera still mishandles this filetype.

Works good for me after adding .acsm files to Opera's settings. Did you do it like on: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/806/cpsid_80636.html?

1. In Opera, go to Tools > Preferences.
2. In the Preferences dialogue that opens, select "Downloads" and click "Add".
3. In the "File Type" dialogue, enter the following values:
In the field "MIMETYPE" enter: application/vnd.adobe.adept+xml
In the field "File Extensions" enter: acsm
Select the "open with default application" radio button. // I set "Show download dialog"
4. Click "Ok".

Thanks for the contribution. After I properly updated MIME types it now works. It seems I was missing this string: "application/vnd.adobe.adept+xml ". Thank you.
