Save photos... destination fail (multiple files)

[martywd]

Happens in both Ubuntu Desktop 12.10 and LinuxMint 14 MATE (both 64-bit)
Package: gtkam | Version: 0.1.18-1 | Architecture: amd64

Initialize camera, unmount if prompted, start gtkam. In gtkam select/save a single image to a chosen directory. Image is saved to target directory as expected. But...

Instead, choose multiple images in gtkam, right-click and Save. Choose/create a specific target directory location (other than $HOME) and then click 'Save'. The multiple images are downloaded and saved to root of user's $HOME directory instead of the target directory. EVERY TIME.

Other config changes in the 'Save photos...' window such as: 'What to save:' and 'Use filename(s) provided by camera' do not change this buggy behavior.

Welp, considering that this bug report was originally posted over eight years ago... for gtkam v. 0.1.18-1 ... while gtkam at present stands at gtkam 1.0 (Linux Mint 20.2 MATE [Ubuntu 20.04 variant]).

This bug report seems no longer relevant since none of what I posted originally, still applies today? I'd change it's status to 'closed' but it does not appear that I have the option to do so?
