104707 - Mozilla doesn't transfer downloaded StuffIt Archive file to Expander for postprocessingl.

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Mark Leverson]

I have:
500 mhz Indigo iMac, 384mb ram, OSX 10.1 and OS 9.2.1, 56K internal modem,
Earthlink dial up connection, Lexmark Z53 USB printer. Build 2001101117 OS 9 ver.

I started mozilla from OSX under classic. I tried to download a program from
http://download.cnet.com/. It downloaded the program fine. It didn't start the
helper app stuffit expander, just saved it to the desk top. Also mozilla didn't
import my helper app assignments from Netscape 4.7.8. It didn't even try to put
a new helper line in for the .hqx file extention, when I did the download. I
tried hitting the reset download prefs button in the prefs/navagator/helper apps
already.

Didn't you already report this as bug 104210?

I reported this on a different version and OS. I was using the OSX version of
0.9.4 and it does a similar thing. This also happens when Mozilla 0.9.5 is run
directly from OS 9.2.1. The Reset for file-opening prefs button doesn't work in
OS 9 Build 200110117. The reset button does work in OSX Build 2001091313.

Passing to pchen with the recommendation we WONTFIX any bug filed on the 8.x/9.x 
version of Mozilla when running under the Classic environment on OS X.  
Especially in bugs of this category as we already know there are issues related 
to AppleEvents used to drive the Finder which is a different beast in OS X.

This problem occurs when running Mozilla 0.9.5 OS 9 ver. directly from OS 9.2.1.
This version also crashes when trying to manage bookmarks. The reset download
prefs button doesn't work in this vers.

is this still a problem with recent trunk bits?

Changing OS to Mac OS 9.x because reporter is talking about a regular Mozilla
Mac build rather than Fizzilla, irrespective of whether he's running it under
Classic or not.

Changing Summary to better reflect his report.

Reporter, you need to open a new bug for the second problem you reported, that
of Mozilla not importing helper application settings from 4.x. One issue per
bug, please.

hm, could this be related to [perhaps dup?] bug 74027?

Comment 12

[Greg K.]

Mac file download handling is problematic in general.

Comment 13

[Greg K.]

Mark, can you still reproduce this problem using Mozilla 0.9.6?

Comment 14

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

this bug is incredibly unclear...

1) Do you get a dialog asking whether to download or open?  Or does Mozilla just 
   bring up a filepicker to pick a file to save to?
2) Do you have a helper in Mozilla's helper app prefs for the mime type in
   question?
3) Do you have a helper in Internet Config for the mime type in question?
4) Do you have a helper in Mozilla's helper app prefs for the ".hqx" extension?
5) If IC does this, do you have a helper in IC for ".hqx"?

Greg

I can't duplicate this bug with 0.9.6 using OS 9 or OSX.

Comment 16

[Steve Dagley]

Based on Mark's last comment any objections to marking this WORKSFORME?

Comment 17

[Anders Åge Larsen]

Can someone set this report to WFM please?

Comment 18

[John Levon]

ok

Comment 19

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

mass-verifying WorksForMe bugs.

reopen only if this bug is still a problem with a *recent trunk build*.
