My prefs.js has a pref called browser.download.dir, which points to my home directory. I assume the profile wizard sets it up. It would be nice if the save file dialog would use it. Linux build 2000.03.03.12

That pref *is* used by all the XP code. It ultimately gets passed to nsIFileWiudget::SetDisplayDirectory. Unfortunately, some implementations of nsIFileWidget don't properly use the directory name when they display the file picker. Windows works correctly, gtk and mac don't (I didn't check the other platforms). So, the fix must occur in the nsIFileWidget implementations. I'm presuming that's in xptoolkit/widgets and am reassigning to the owner of that component.

reassigned to danm as p3 for m17

Mass moving M17 bugs to M18

mass-moving all bugs to m21 that are not dofood+, or nsbeta2+

jrgm, am taking this (unless you mind ;).

This is relnoted elsewhere, I believe. "Dialogs are not smart." Gerv

danm, what's the status on this? or, should it go to another person [eg, mscott or bill or...?] thx much --implementation of this would be Very Useful. :)

this should go to me.

awesome! I've been waiting for this :) sr=alecf

fix checked in. Now when you invoke the helper app dialog and click save to disk, we pay attention to the value of this pref when selecting the intial directory for the file picker.

Just FYI, this checkin introduces an additional intermodule dependency from xpcom/components/ucth to the prefs module. http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showlog.cgi?log=SeaMonkey-Ports/976149300.24417.gz

thanks for pointing that out cls. Adding "pref" to the requires list right now.

coolio. vrfy fixed [both within a session and btwn sessions] on winnt and linux [2000.12.08.08] and mac [2000.12.07.08].

Scott, please check this into the branch ASAP.
