Description Samuel Abels 2004-11-20 16:20:19 UTC 
It would be nice to be able to save, for example, a downloaded theme directly to
"themes:".

Other information:
I haven't been able to figure a way out for saving files to a gnome-vfs location.
What I did is this:

1. Save As...
2. The fileselector opens.
3. Press CTRL+l
4. Enter "ftp:///myuser:mypass@mysite.org/"
5. Press the OK button
6. Note the error message:

"Could not change the current folder to ftp:///myuser:mypass@mysite.org/:
Can't change to folder because it isn't local"

This should work, I guess. At least that would be pretty cool.

It would be nice if a downloaded theme would be auto-installed, but according to
the gnome art people that's currently not possible.
Comment 2 Samuel Abels 2004-11-22 22:52:55 UTC 
Then I would like to think of that as a seperate problem, it was probably a bad
example.
What I meant was more a general problem of saving to any vfs locations. Make
that burn:///, maybe. Or ftp, though this is probably more uncommon. Though I
would have found this quite useful often either.
Comment 3 Christian Persch 2004-11-25 23:34:34 UTC 
Saving to non-local gnome-vfs locations requires as yet nonexistent support from
mozilla.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into
our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.
