Binary package hint: firefox
If you browse to a file in Firefox (e.g. http://www.csse.uwa.edu.au/~john/bugs/test.rtf ), and select Open instead of "Save As" then it will save the file in /tmp. This file is writeable, so you can edit this file and save it.
The behaviour of each component take individually is reasonable, however as a system:
* The user requested that the file be "Saved", yet the file will only be stored temporarily (until /tmp is next cleaned.)
* There is no indication or that the file has not been Saved to a permanent location.
* There is no visual reminder that the file is in /tmp.
- The "Downloads" window lists it as a download and claims "All files downloaded to: Desktop"
- OpenOffice doesn't display the path at the top of the window, just the file name.
As a result this makes it easy for the user to accidentally lose work done on downloaded files.
I expect that, every time I click save, the file is saved to permanent locationlt this makes it easy for the user to accidentally lose work done on downloaded files.
I expect that, every time I click save, the file is saved to permanent location. Possible fixes include
* Firefox could mark its temporary files /tmp as read-only, forcing the user to save elsewhere (but see bug #97292)
* OpenOffice (etc.) could warn the user the first time they attempt to "Save" a file to /tmp
(Bug detected with Firefox 2.0.0.6 and OpenOffice 2.2.0 on Fiesty)
. Possible fixes include
* Firefox could mark its temporary files /tmp as read-only, forcing the user to save elsewhere (but see bug #97292)
* OpenOffice (etc.) could warn the user the first time they attempt to "Save" a file to /tmp
