Bug #795

URL Streams (non-"file://*") can not be recorded if "Save into original directory" selected.

Description

Since there is no "original directory" obtainable from the file name, attempting to record a stream URL will fail with a popup error. The included PATCH should check for this and silently handle it by recording as if "Save to custom directory" was selected (defaulting to user's home directory if no directory provided), as I believe it should.

Regards,

Jim

  • Status changed from New to Rejected

Many non-file:// URIs are writable. smb:// and ftp://, for example. Not a bug.

#2 Updated by Jim Turner over 6 years ago

True (I haven't played those before)
Maybe add a test for writeability || failure, perhaps?
