GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 158830
Using the "Save As..." feature for saving to a gnome-vfs location
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 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.
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.
Saving to non-local gnome-vfs locations requires as yet nonexistent support from mozilla. Thanks for the bug report.
