Hi,
I don't consider this to be normal: I use Linux for work, I almost always
save on FAT because I need to have dual-boot with Windows.
And this is currently seriously impacting my productivity, as I never know
if what I'm saving will have size 0 or "only" change its name.
I also don't think that this is such an exotic setup, lots of people have
dual-boot Windows/Linux with a shared partition formatted with FAT.
As for loss of data: if I download something with size 0 and go travelling
(it's my laptop), and find out that I don't have the data I need
available, I consider this as being data loss, especially if it appears in
front of the customer.
You may consider this to be data loss, but it isn't. Data loss implies
you lost something, ie you were in possession of something and then
lost it. If downloading fails you never had it to begin with.
I would agree if downloading would fail non-silently, then it would be
an annoyance. But if you download a presentation, go to the customer and
find out there that you don't have it, you've possibly lost something,
namely your job (especially if the company you work tolerates but
doesn't support Linux).
I don't want to start a severity-setting-war, but I would greatly
appreciate to have the severity of this issue set higher (even better
would be to have it fixed quickly :-> ).
Well the severity is not a stick to get things fixed more quickly. The
best question to ask yourself is should this bug prevent Iceweasel
from being part of the release? If you think that it should then your
priorities are a bit out of whack.
I do think so, I have to work daily with this bug and it's
download-check size->0-rename, download-check size-=0-redownload
somewhere else-move, download-check size->0-rename, download-wonder why
file is empty-redownload... My efficiency is going out of whack, not my
judgement. As we have a web based Content Mgmt system, and I do download
90% of the times to FAT, I'm probably hit by this 10 to 20 times a day.
Can you imagine that I don't consider this a minor one?
Thanks for your understanding,
Eric
