Comment #6 on issue 9023 by dhhwai: Enable downloads to a temporary location (view vs. save) http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=9023
Hi Darin, that is the wrong thinking. You say "users might not expect their files to magically disappear" but in fact the opposite is true: they *do* expect this. Specifically, this bug is going about this all the wrong way. Peter's comment 1 is essentially correct. This is effectively an "open" [right away] option, and the opened content is _only available for the time that it remains open_. Once it is closed, the user views the file as *gone*. Whether or not a copy may actually still exist in the Windows %TEMP% directory is a technical/implementation detail, but again a file that was "opened" is considered *gone* after closing. And definitely such "opened" files absolutely should *not* be listed in the Downloads page because they are not considered as having been downloaded but rather just "opened". There is also no need for a "Save file" button on the download shelf as the "opened" file will *not* show any entry on the download shelf. This issue is a duplicate of Issue 333, or I guess what I'm saying is that Issue 333 is much more important and Issue 333 must be implemented first. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
