1381381 - "Save .mp3 as" opens file instead of showing "file save as" dialog window

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Robert Orzanna]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.115 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

1. Subscribe to an Podcast RSS feed
2. Receive a new feed item that contains an mp3 file
3. Select "Save as" to save the attached file


Actual results:

It takes a little while (TB seems to be downloading the file in the background) until the mp3 file opens in my default music player.


Expected results:

I should see a dialog window that asks me where to save the file.

I am using TB 52 on Solus Budgie Linux.

Which feed is that so we can try it?

How is the MP3 attached/embedded into the message? If attached, you can usually configure how to save attachments, but let us take a look at it.

Problem solved.

Changed settings to open in "GNOME MPV" to "Save File".

That's what I tried to day. BTW, the MP3 is attached, see "1 attachment: ...". Hmm, that feed sends heavy attachments.

It doesn't work for you? Strange...

Oops, typo:
That's what I tried to *say* (in comment #1: you can usually configure how to save attachments).
It's all good, I didn't try the feed but I can see 21 MB in the picture from comment #2.
