http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=501724 Summary: firefox 3.5 downloads into some weird wherever-defined directory Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox AssignedTo: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jmatejek@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- There should be a consistent default download location across firefox versions and across distribution releases. On linux, that location should obviously be $HOME. There were some long-standing bugs in firefox that made it impossible, so i got used to downloading to $HOME/Desktop. (note that it's "Desktop" not "Plocha", "Arbeitsplatz" or "页文电子图书") And for a time, it was good. steps to reproduce: 1. do your packaging work 2. download a new version of a package with firefox (yeah, i know, should've used wget). this time it's GraphicsMagick-1.1.5.tar.bz2 3. back to shell, try to copy from download location to current directory: $ cp ~/Desktop/Gra<TAB> (beep) 4. aha, so we're (finally?) back to downloading to home? $ cp ~/Gra<TAB> (beep) 5. check manually... $ ls ~ (nothing of interest) $ ls ~/Desktop (nothing of interest) 6. open firefox download window, right-click the file, show folder !!!! 7. stare in disbelief as a Nautilus window opens with a directory called "Stažené soubory" (that's "downloaded files") !!!! 8. bang head against desk see, this is why openSUSE is hacker unfriendly! well okay, this might be firefox's fault, but anyway. whose braindead idea was this? not only creating a special directory for downloads (what was wrong with downloading to $HOME? oh, i remember, poor windows users don't get to see their $HOME ... alright then what was wrong with downloading to desktop?), but localizing its name? now come on, that is just ... wtf. Additional info: all download-related settings from about:config are on their default states. i like them that way, because i tend to change location of $HOME from time to time, and i can always rely on finding my files in ~/Desktop. (well not anymore, i guess) but granted, not many people move their $HOME around -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
