Comment 1 for bug 1261351

Thunderbird 24.2.0, thunderbird 1:24.2.0+build1-0ubuntu0.13.10.1, Ubuntu 13.10

1. Send yourself a message containing at least two attachments with the same filename, e.g. "image.jpeg".
2. Open the message in Thunderbird, and choose "Save All".
3. Select a folder to save the attachments in, and choose "Open" (bug 531777).

What happens: For n attachments, n–1 "Confirm" alerts appear with the text: "{pathname} already exists. Do you want to replace it?"

If you choose "Cancel", instead of cancelling, a "Save Attachment" dialog appears for choosing a different path/filename (bug 678345).

However, the default is "OK", and if you choose that, each attachment overwrites the previous one that was saved just a fraction of a second earlier -- something that nobody would ever want.

Not to be confused with bug 448580. Optionally letting you specify a different name for each attachment would be a slightly faster workaround for this bug than just saving all the attachments individually. However, it would not fix this bug, which is that the *default* behavior for "Save All" is to save only one of the attachments. That shouldn't even be an option.
