Description

If you have a micro:bit connected when using the electron app, the Download button will automatically download to the micro:bit. The "Download to File" option pops a download dialog.

  • We should think about changing the Download button icon to the micro:bit logo to match WebUSB since the download is automatic in this case
  • There is also a weird header in the Download dialog

Research direction

Start by locating the Electron app's Download button and the Download dialog shown in the attached screenshots, then compare the button behavior and icon with WebUSB. Done means the automatic micro:bit download uses an appropriate micro:bit icon and the Download dialog no longer shows the unwanted header.
