New issue 6899 by Daniel.Wyatt: DLL/EXE download directory, Show in folder not working http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6899 Chrome Version : 2.0.157.2 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Click any (plain) EXE/DLL download link 2. Click Save (if needed) 3. Click 'Show in folder' on the download What is the expected result? The folder should be opened, and the file selected in the folder. What happens instead? Nothing. The folder is not opened, the file is not selected. This only happens for executables it seems (EXEs/DLLs is what I tested). First, I don't think these should be downloaded to: Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\2.0.157.2 That is a very annoying directory to navigate to if you actually need to FIND the downloaded file (and not just run it). Why should executable files be downloaded to a directory other than the standard download directory? What's the difference between a zipped EXE and a plain EXE? I don't mind it for installers and the like. For installers, I usually just want to click the download in the download bar and install the software. But I don't want to RUN the DLL, I want to DO something with it, move it, etc. I downloaded a DLL twice before I realized it just wasn't where I expected it to be.
