137776 - "Show File Location" doesn't

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 90008

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Joe Pranevich]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux alpha; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020415
BuildID:    Gecko/20020415

This is likely a duplicate bug, since it is relatively obvious. I couldn't find
one though.

When downloading a file to disk ("Save Link As...", etc.) the "Show File
Location" button is active after the download completes. On my RedHat 7.1
(Alpha) system with Ximian Gnome, this doesn't do anything. I suspect this is
because of the differences in Linux systems, but the button shouldn't be active
if it doesn't do anytyhing.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to download a file.
2. Wait for it to complete.
3. Try and "Show File Location"

Actual Results:  Click on the button and nothing happens.

Expected Results:  Should pop up a Nautilus window, a GMC window, or a KDE
filemanager window, or maybe others... (Configuration option?)

That button should be disabled on Linux....

Resolving this as dup of bug 909008.

Note that that bug has a patch.  I tried to implement this feature by opening a
browser window to the directory containing the file (which is about as good as
we can do without lots more window-mgr specific code, I think).

An additional feature I thought about was to tweak the file: url by adding
something like "?file=leafname.ext".  We could then enhance the file directory
viewer code to parse out this search string and select the specified file.

Anyway, that bug got pushed out.  But we'd love to have the fix land on mozilla1.0.

One other thing: I think we need to make a similar tweak to the download manager
window.
