133744 - Save Link As ... doesn't remember the last directory I saved to

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 115148

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Juergen Lindemeyer]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221
BuildID:    2001122106

Oftentimes I wan't to save PDF-Files or other files I find links to in WebSites.
I have one directory where I store all that stuff. With my old Netscape browser
this was no problem at all.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. right-click on a link and select Save File As ...
2.
3.

Actual Results:  A file dialog is displayed, and the dialog defaults to the
directory
(in my case) 
c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1031\Nt

Expected Results:  I want to have the directory, I last saved to.

This Mapi-Directory (or what System-directory else) is absolutely not
interesting for me and I don't want to save to it -- if I do, I may loose my
files -- because I will not find them anymore (I didn't know, this directory
exists, before I was forced to it).

I regard this for a severe problem, because it is possible to loose data _and_
it should be very easy to fix it. It's the kind of problem, that can distract
the user very much and makes it unnecessary hard to use a programm -- the kind
of problem, that degrades the usability very much.

It is possible, that the problem only occurs, when the mail/news-reader is
started before -- because I think there where times, that I hadn't had this
problem -- but I am not sure at all.
