If one forgets to specify a filename then the file is hidden in the user's home directory. This could potentially be very confusing for a new user to Linux, Ubuntu, or GNOME. Even I spent a while looking for a file I printed that I had forgotten to specify a filename for. If it is possible, I would like to see a default filename of "[Window_Title].pdf" or at least "output.pdf" Might this be suitable for inclusion in the current round of paper cuts? I also checked the same dialog in Chromium and it defaulted to "output.pdf" Information Package: Firefox (though this may be more related to Nautilus if the 'Print to File' dialog is a Nautilus component) Version: firefox: Installed: 3.5.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1 Candidate: 3.5.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1 Version table: *** 3.5.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic-updates/main Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com karmic-security/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.5.3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu6 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages Expected operation: default non-hidden filename when printing to file Actual operation: default filename is a hidden file in GNOME To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/488857/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
