Always use i18n'd Desktop and Downloads dir names (1.99 KB, patch)

Description Javier Garcia Diaz 2010-02-22 19:24:46 UTC 
If I select the Download folder (~/Descargas in my locale) as the download dir, then Epiphany's gconf key "downloads_folder" is set to "Download" and next time I try to download a file, a folder named "~/Download" is created.
The same thing happens if I select my desktop folder. The key is saved with the English name (which I think is the normal thing to do), but upon dowload the name is not converted back to the directory in my user_dirs file and an "~/Desktop" folder is created instead of using my Desktop folder (which is actually my home folder).
I'm using Ubuntu Lucid up to date and this started happening some days ago. Version 2.29.90.1 of Epiphany Webkit is affected by this. Additionally, most of the times the downloads cannot be found on the new folders created by Epiphay, nor on /tmp or somewhere else. Instead they are lost and I must use wget to download the file.
Thanks!

Always use i18n'd Desktop and Downloads dir names

Otherwise preferences gets confused and also some other parts of our code put
files where they shouldn't be. This was causing the default downloads
destination to reset everytime the preferences dialog was opened and also
causing some downloads (when "Open" is selected) to end up where they
shouldn't.

Javier this patch should fix your problem.

Regarding the missing downloads, that's caused by a bug already fixed in 2.29.91 (released yesterday). Just wait for ubuntu to package it.

Thanks for reporting.

Hi Diego,
Many thanks for the quick answer and the fix for this! I have in great consideration all the GNOME community, but honestly did not expect such great support. Epiphany is my primary and only browser and the fix for the download problems is indeed much appreciated.
Gracias de nuevo,
  Javier
