Bug ID: 452968
Summary: The Save File - KDialog window sometimes forgets last
used directory
Product: kdialog
Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: br...@frogmouth.net
Reporter: redashesyellowflow...@mailinator.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
The Save File - KDialog window sometimes forgets the last directory to which it
was pointing, even when the browser's cache was not cleaned. Observed across
Brave and Firefox browsers. Also seen on KDE Neon 20.04 and Fedora 35.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Browser (Brave/Firefox), and attempt to save a file to a non-standard
download location (i.e. not the Downloads folder).
2. Wait a few minutes or more.
3. Try to save another file and instead you will be directed to
/run/user/1000/doc/random-characters-folder/ which contains a copy of the saved
file.
OBSERVED RESULT
When I try to save a file a second time, I expect to see the directory where I
last saved a file.
EXPECTED RESULT
But the KDialog seems to save the file in two places. One in the directory
where I want it to and secondly in a sub-folder in /run/user/1000/doc/ . From
then on, the browser's default download location becomes that folder. Every
time I try to save a file, I end up in /run/user/1000/doc/xxx/.
This is very annoying.
