Can not save files (csv/excel/pdf) in incognito mode

[kriszyp]

This can easily be reproduced by visiting the main TableTools web page in Chrome's Incognito mode, and trying to save a file: https://www.datatables.net/extensions/tabletools/
It will appear to work (the save dialog comes up), but no file is saved in the destination folder.

Seems to work okay for me - Chrome 42.0.2311.135 Mac.

Ah, indeed, this is specific to Chrome 43 (and newer?). Sorry, I missed that, but yes, I can verify that the issue (whether we call it a "regression" or "new privacy feature") does not affect version 42, it only appears on 43.

How frustrating. I can't see why it would be a feature, but it seems like an odd thing to break unintentionally. Possibly one for the Chrome bug list. If you beat me to it, could you post a link to the bug here?

@DataTables any progress on this?

TableTools is no longer being developed. Buttons is its replacement and it seems to work just fine in Chrome's Incognito mode: https://datatables.net/extensions/buttons/examples/html5/simple.html

@DataTables thanks for the feedback.
