Title:
File save as for attachments has wrong file names
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
Mozilla Thunderbird
Ubuntu 10.04
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100423
Lightning/1.0b1 Thunderbird/3.0.4
When you receive multiple mails with multiple attachment, thunderbird has
wrong bahavior in th save as dialog
How to reproduce
Receive 2 mails or more containting attachements (encountered with *.jpeg
files)
Open first mail cliking on the subject in the received mails folder
Mail appears with more than 1 attachement (because it realy contains many)
Ctrl+left-click to select all the files
right-click with option "save as..."
answer the location for each saved file (no way to save save all ??)
files as rigth saved on the appropriate place
Then immediatly select the second message subject containg other attachments
2nd Mail appears with more than 1 attachement (because it realy contains many)
Ctrl+left-click to select all the files
right-click with option "save as..."
Oops, Thunderbird asks if it should overwrite files !!!
It purposes the file names of the first selected message and not the file
names of the 2nd one
Workaround found
After having "saved as" the attachments in the first message, left click in
the frame close to the attachment file names. It should deactivate the file
name selection in the first message
Then you can go to save the attachments on the second message an Thunderbird
no longer asks you already existing and wrong file names
