After http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21742 got fixed this is a new bug report for the proper UI. A lot of inspiration can be found in the attached image.

Putting on [nsbeta2-] radar. Not critical to beta2.

Scott, Jeff, is this just a trivial UI hookup, or is it a lot of work that isn't done yet?

marking future. You can save all attachments today. we just don't have a great UI that matches the spec for it. This isn't an area we are focusing on for beta3 / rtm.

What is the spec? Something like Outlook Express's cool Save All dialog?

In the current UI setup you can only save all the attachments. Outlook Express has a cool UI where you can choose which attachments you would like to save. Perhaps this is just a RFE...

Could someone explain me why this bug was considered as FIXED ? In 2001032904 Win32 build, there is no provision for it. Or maybe I misunderstood what the purpose of this bug meant to be. Thanks.

After the new mail&news diaplay has landed, the ability to save attachments has gone. There's another bug on that.

Marking dup of latest Save All bug 73414: "Once I check in the new look for message display, I'm going to be breaking the save all attachments feature. I need to re-implement this with the new view." *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 73414 ***

I'll reopen the bug since it's not a bug about implementing the "save all attachments" but a bug about improving the dialog.

See bug 65866. Which should be marked as duplicate?

Textfield in dialog shows pathname, and label is changed from "File name" to "Directory name".

It should (but does not): - default to the last "save as" directory - let you type a path - let you create a directory (very needed) - let you select 'some' items to save (maybe this is before the 'save all' button is pushed, but anyway...)

Is anyone still working on this or is it just stagnant? If noone is working on it I would be glad to polish the current patch with Kevin Butler's suggestions.

the missing ability to create a directory can't be that hard - for windows os, mailnews uses a windows default dialog which has a flag to allow directory creation or not. so a patch for windows would be a one-liner, i think.

All with linux (gtk2) Update: 1.4 has - create directory (see bug #205606) - default to the last "save as" directory - let you type a path Mozilla Mail IMHO needs: - let you select 'some' items to save (maybe this is before the 'save all' button is pushed, but anyway...) - If nothing is selected, take the current dir the dialog browser is in. This would also fix bug #205606 and would be less strange. With the current behaviour we have: *click* Save all... *click* Create Dir... *click* Name dir... *click* leave dir... *click* select dir... *click* Save -------- The next time we get: *click* leave dir... *click* select dir... *click* Save to save in the very same directory... this is strange, at least.

For the moment simply enabling multiple select on the attachment listbox would be satisfactory.

The linux and Windows dialogs here are completely different. see bug 134634 for linux-specific stuff.

I think this issue is entirely resolved, at least on Win32. Perhaps I'm missing something, but I believe in both TB and seamonkey (suite) the attachment listbox is multi-select. That addresses the major feature of the original OE dialog. [On Win32] There is a dialog to select a folder, including a space to type a path, and a button to create a new folder. http://integration.co.nz/download/SaveMultipleFiles.png Closing this.

I disagree with the choice to close it, but I do agree that the select multiple files & save as is a better UI than the "save all" UI. Could you change the "save all" button to actually do a "select all" and then open the "save as" dialog with all the attachments selected? I believe this would address the remaining concerns with the Save As dialog. (See above comments, including one from me, for those concerns.

Kevin, you said: - default to the last "save as" directory - it does - let you type a path - it does - let you create a directory (very needed) - it does - let you select 'some' items to save (maybe this is before the 'save all' button is pushed, but anyway...) - it does (by selecting items in the listbox). So I don't see what is remaining. Please clarify.
