It is a bug if there is not a global setting and application settings that will be obeyed.
For instance, always show hidden files should show hidden files unless there is an application setting. An application should always be able to override the global setting unless it does not have that capability. In the case of Firefox, that appears to use an internal file dialog on *nix based systems, it would be a bug or feature request directed to Mozilla.org. There is a setting in the configuration file of Firefox and SeaMonkey that let's one choose the internal or system file dialog, but it can create odd behavior For instance, the MS version of SeaMonkey cannot use the internal dialog. It can only use the system file dialog. This is Explorer, not Internet Explorer, since Windows 98. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/564331 Title: 'Opening file' >> 'Save file' dialog always displays hidden directories To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.5/+bug/564331/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
