Subject: evolution: "Save All" does not function Package: evolution Version: 2.26.3-2+b1 Severity: normal When there are multiple attachments, evolution offers a "Save All" button to save them all to file at once. But it's not working. I press on "Save All", a dialog box pops up for selecting the directory. I press "Save" in that dialog box, but then nothing happens at all. The attachments are not saved, the "Save All" dialog box is still there. The "Save" button has been completely ignored. The attachments are simply given as application/octet-stream, base64 encoding, in the Message Source, e.g. "--000e0cd5f14cf51db20471933ff4 Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="Dielec001.dat" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Dielec001.dat" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 X-Attachment-Id: f_fylkdc4i2 ..." Saving each attachment individually, one by one, works correctly.
I think you have to *give* a directory name. Cheers,

So the directory has been declared, all I should have to do is click on "Save", and that's that. But that's what's not working. I got a new email with attachments, tried again. It still does not work as I described. This time I tried clicking in the files area (the main box in the Save dialog). It's shaded out, since normally it would be used for naming the file, but that doesn't apply when all files are to be saved at once. Nevertheless, after clicking in the files area, I can then click on Save, and the files get saved. It's this behaviour which doesn't make sense. It's not intuitive. Since the files area is shaded out, you'd never expect that you have to first click there. All that clicking in the files areas does, is to remove the keyboard focus from the "Location:" entry box. Nothing else. I think this is a real bug. A usability bug, if not a strictly technical one. Drew
i found the issue to be when i double-clicked a directory (and therefore entered it) i thought this would select the directory. Perhaps the solution is if no directory is selected, the current directory displayed in the view would be inferred. This was tricky for me to figure out because my first view showed /Desktop, where i wanted to save the files to. i thought i could just hit "Save", but nothing would happen. Already being in /Desktop, i did not think at first to navigate to / and then choose /Desktop.
