Package: clamtk
Version: 4.41-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The 'clamtk' "Scanning Results" window, full of the grayed out files
quarantined, right-click option "Save As:".

Select a quarantined file, pick a save location in '/tmp', and:

    "Could not save that file."

The '/tmp' directory had enough free space.

'clamtk' saves the same file to non-'/tmp' directories without a problem.

Assuming this '/tmp' exclusion is intentional or mostly harmless, the
main flaw lies in the error message: "Could not save that file.", which
misleads users to infer the file itself is to blame.

Suggested tweak:  change the source code to check for '/tmp', then
show a more specific error message, e.g.:

        Sorry, can't save files to '/tmp'.

Better tweak:.  Gray out the 'tmp' directory in the file selection
window, that is, make '/tmp' unselectable.

HTH...
