I've asked Gian to bring this up on the usability mailing list, because I think there should be a policy, or at least discussions on default save locations. We have to investigate the ways people use their folder hierarchy (was that done already?). For Epiphany, using ~/Downloads, or ~/Desktop/Downloads has proven to be appropriate, when looking how my mother uses documents, we might rather have ~/Documents as default save location, if the software in question was not spawned from an interactive shell. The long-term solution is to dump everything in ~/Documents by default, and use document tagging for organizing the stuff, and offer functionalities on a bunch of tagged files, like package everything regarding "Skyscraper Project 2005" into one tar file and send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but that's just my two cents and quiet unrelated :). -- Christian Neumair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
