With Epiphany 2.26.3, When I open the Preferences dialog, the Download folder gets reset to the "File System" dropdown item. The /apps/epiphany/directories/downloads_folder gconf item gets reset to "/". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open Preferences dialog 2. set Download folder to Desktop or something. Note the value of the gconf key. 3. close Preferences dialog 4. download something and note that it goes to the specified directory. 5. open Preferences dialog. 6. note that the Download folder is reset to "File System". Note the value of the gconf key. 7. Download something and note that it fails (or goes into / if you have write permission). Actual Results: Download folder value is reset to "/" whenever the preferences dialog is opened. Expected Results: Preferences dialog should read in the value of the gconf key and populate the dialog accordingly.
This is an upstream bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583616 But I doubt it will be ever fixed since 2.26 is no longer maintained by upstream :-/
marking needpatch since the issue most likely only requires bissecting or reading the git log to find out which commit fixed it.
After checking on a local overlay, the problem appears in 2.26.1, 2.26.0 doesn't have it (and 2.27.0 has it also fixed) I think that this is the culprit: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/epiphany/commit/?h=gnome-2-26&id=7dbe33b5bfd99ff4ef116f8ccf4777edd8ade788
@pacho: Can you verify that the patch fixes the problem? If so, please go ahead and commit it; I can't test anything epiphany-2.26 related because I have xulrunner-1.9.2
The problem is that reverting completely: http://git.gnome.org/browse/epiphany/commit/?h=gnome-2-26&id=7dbe33b5bfd99ff4ef116f8ccf4777edd8ade788 would revert also the bug that originated that commit (seems that something related with "hog in mountpoints")
Created attachment 215393 [details, diff] epiphany-2.26.3-revert-downloadir.patch This is the patch I would commit and the one I have tested and works fine :-D. It reverts exactly the same that is reverted in upstream trunk and 2.28-branch as explained in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583616#c13 Gnome team, simply put "Inclusion" keyword and I will be happy to commit it ;-) Regards
Just commited to epiphany-2.26.3-r3 , if you have any problems blame on me (and please CC me) Thanks
