I didn't like to be redirected to a page with information about a file 
when I clicked on a file. I expected to download it :(

Before the FilePresenter, there was already two links for images:
1 - http://environment.domain/profile.identifer/image.png
the user would download the file

2 - http://environment.domain/profile.identifer/image.png?view=true
the user would see the image thumbnail with the profile layout

I think that it's "ok" to have a page with information about the file, 
but this page should not be displayed when the user clicks on "image.png".

Besides that, this change broke all profiles and environments that used 
the image link on header, footer and blocks.
