When saving all attachments in an e-mail, the save button on "Save All
Attachments" dialog says "Open" instead of "Save". The button saves all
attachments as expected, though.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an e-mail sent to you with a couple of attachments
2. Right click in the attachments pane and select "Save All..."
Actual Results:  
The blue Save button says "Open".

Expected Results:  
The blue Save button should say "Save".

I don't think this is a bug in Thunderbird but rather a bug in the
native Mac OS filepicker that should say "select" or maybe "pick this"
instead of saying open. I'm not sure we can customize this... Neil, any
thoughts?

This is a problem on Linux too.
It seems the FilePicker in this case is called with Mode="select_folder" and 
then the native toolkit (GTK, QT, Win32,...) will pick the text on the button 
(Open). This mode is probably needed to allow choosing a folder only.

When saving one attachment, Mode="save" picks the correct text (Save).
But it's aim is to choose a folder but also get a filename from the user
(usually prefilled).

So it is probably necessary to keep both modes separate. I don't know if
there are any other modes available from the toolkit which would help
here.

Wow .. this bug really lives in Thunderbird for 11 years, now?!
I just changed to thunderbird some days ago - it causes me pain when saving 
attachments. I'll almost call this button (Save all) broken. 
Severity of "minor" doesn't fit here.

I can't "Save all" attachments with an "Open" dialog - it just won't
save anything anywhere, at least in linux.

Kindly read the comments on this bug to understand that most likely it
does *not* live in Thunderbird, but in the native filepicker dialogs
provided by the OS.

What happens if you do "Save all", select a target folder, and click "Open" (as 
in "open/use/select this folder for saving")?
If it does *not* save your attachments into that folder, please file a new bug 
for that.

  Save button on "Save All Attachments" dialog says "Open"

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird:

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Good day,

  I'd like to report a bug in Thunderbird 52.8.0 (64 bit). I use ubuntu
  18.04 LTS with Gnome 3.28.1.

    affects ubuntu/thunderbird

  When i need to save all attachments in one mail into a directory and i
  right click into the attachment and select "save all files" the green
  button is displayed as "open" instead of "save" but the action of saving
  is performed correctly.

  Kind regards
