What was the rational for changing the file name in the first place? What is wrong with presenting a overwrite warning/question to the user for equal file names?
Silently changing file names is not very nice in my opinion. At least there should be an option to disable this mechanism. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78435 Title: temporary filenames should handle multiple extensions (.tar.gz) Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: Confirmed Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird When opening a file named foo.bar, the file is downloaded to /tmp. If the file is opened again in a short time, the file is again downloaded to /tmp but renamed foo-1.bar. If the file has a double extension (for example, opening a foo.tar.gz file with ark), the file is renamed as foo.tar-1.gz and thus ark is not able to open it properly. It should be foo-1.tar.gz instead.
