I often have uses working with extra this snippet.. issues with output filters and the like, and I think many of them are caused by the fact we're forced to use an inline template. MODX parses recursively so I'm going to guess that whenever an output filter is used, the entire placeholder is REMOVED, and FileDownload R cannot access it. I've had the same issue with the Login snippet for example, but at least that one offers the possibility to use a chunk.

Using chunks will fix issues like these. Keep it as an option if you worry about backwards compatibility.
