You have been subscribed to a public bug: Certain applications, like DeVeDe or Openshot, use a simplified save dialogue box. From these simplified lists, the user is presented with some default directories to save in (Video, Desktop, Home, etc). Selecting any of these destinations from this menu works as expected. However, if the user wishes to save to some other location besides the ones suggested, they must click on "Other..." which displays the full, normal save dialogue. When this is used, it does not matter which directory the user chooses - the application will save to the /HOME directory.
I have tested this using DeVeDe on Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit (fresh install) and 12.10 32-bit (upgrade install). This *is not* a bug with DeVeDe, but it was the first application I found that was using the simplified save dialogue (and I also was able to reproduce this using Openshot, which does the same thing). If the application uses the normal save dialogue box, everything works as expected. Please help me provide the information needed for this bug report. I do not know what package to file this against, or what other information that needs to be attached. It would also be helpful if someone can reproduce this. I have not filed a bug report because I did not know what to attach or what package to file against. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is a video demonstrating the problem using DeVeDe. I tell DeVeDe to export a video to my Desktop from the defaults menu, which works as expected. I then tell it to save it to my Desktop, but using the "Other..." menu. I would expect it to say that there's a file already there with the same name, and offer to overwrite it. Instead, it saves the file to my /Home directory. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7O5O6XnRTis&feature=youtu.be ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bot-comment -- For applications using simplified save dialogues, selecting a destionation through "Other..." saves to /HOME directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1070004 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
