Description Omer Akram 2010-03-12 07:51:42 UTC 
"When I receive a file with Empathy, and I have to choose where to save the file, the default directory that appears in the save dialog is always "File system" (the root directory). This behavior could be misleading to normal users or to users that are not paying attention where exactly the file will be saved.

The same "problem" is present when I want to send a file to a user. If I choose Contact -> Send file, the default directory to select a file from, is always the root one.

IMHO, sane defaults could be:
- $HOME/Downloads (the default XDG directory for downloads) for receiving files
- $HOME for sending files"
