I confirm this bug. I manually changed the parameter in Configuration Editor (/apps/epiphany/directories/downloads_folder) to "~/downloads," then opened an instance of Epiphany to observe if/when a change occurred. The browser started up just fine, I was able to download a file to ~/downloads without issue. Then I opened the Preferences dialog, and the parameter reset.
With Configuration Editor still open, I used the Preferences dialog in Epiphany to change the setting, seeing it change appropriately in the Configuration Editor window, and maintaining state when the Preferences dialog is closed. It seems the culprit is the dialog window creation routine for the Preferences dialog in Epiphany. (My Gtk+ terminology is a little rusty, sorry.) Maybe the downloads_folder parameter is reset in the Preferences dialog creation method. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
