HTML <a> download Attribute does not work in combination with simple-lightbox

[webmark487]

Description of Problem

When I use links like <a href="/images/myw3schoolsimage.jpg" **download="**w3logo">, they still open in Simple Lightbox and the files are not downloaded directly.

So the "HTML download Attribute" does not have any effect here.

You can see that on https://neu.freirad.at/presse/logos-zum-download/, where the source code of the Downloadtest-link is:

<a href="/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/FREIRAD-Logo-1c-schwarz-pos-klein1-768x256.jpg" download="logo1" data-slb-active="1" data-slb-asset="749846469" data-slb-internal="0" data-slb-group="1320">Downloadtest</a>

Any built in solution or workaround, that you could think of?

Hi, support for ignoring links with the download attribute has been added to the to-do list.

In the meantime, you can exclude these links from opening in the lightbox using the [slb_exclude] shortcode (documentation).

Thanks.
