Public bug reported: With recent versions of webbrowser-app (starting from 0.23+15.10.20150827.3-0ubuntu1), there are now contextual actions to save an image or a file. On mobile devices this feeds the URL to the download manager, which handles the actual download.
On desktop, the ubuntu download manager is currently not available, so this defaults to calling Qt.openUrlExternally(request.url) (see http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/webbrowser- app/trunk/view/head:/src/app/WebViewImpl.qml#L81). As a consequence, the file/image is opened/download in the default browser. The browser should explicitly depend on the ubuntu download manager, and use it to download files on desktop as well. As a prerequisite, ubuntu-download-manager needs to be included in main (see bug #1488425). ** Affects: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: Olivier Tilloy (osomon) Status: Triaged ** Changed in: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Olivier Tilloy (osomon) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1491279 Title: Save image/file doesn’t actually download the file on desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+bug/1491279/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
