Description Erika Ahlswede 2004-11-24 04:26:45 UTC 
Currently, Nautilus saves links dragged from a web browser as a link. It would
be very nice if, at least for MIME-types not opened with the web browser
normally (html, et al), Nautilus would actually download the file to the
targetted directory.

I'm not sure to understand the bug but it's probably fixed in the CVS with these
changes:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2005-January/msg00021.html

When you drag and drop a link from a browser nautilus ask if you want to make a
link or download it. Do you think it solves your issue?
Comment 2 Erika Ahlswede 2005-02-03 15:47:48 UTC 
Not perfectly-- I'd personally prefer if it would default to linking
browser-readable files (HTML, XML), asking for text, and downloading everything
else.

I'm guessing that's not likely due to the freeze however, so this should
probably just be marked Duplicate.
