192699 - Improve choosing to save all attachments to current directory

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 37113

(MailNews Core :: Attachments, enhancement)

To save all attachments into a specific directory, you have to either select
that directory from one level above itself or type in its path. You can't just
choose "Save all" and then immediately "Select" if the directory you want to
save to is currently open - the button is disabled. The workaround is to just
type a dot into the path field or going up one level and choosing the directory
from there, but somehow this is odd.

I realize that this probably has some reason other than a mistake, but at least
in MY opinion it is strange of Mozilla to force me to long-windedly choose the
directory that is currently open anyway. I see no reason for why the process of
choosing where to store multiple files should be any different than the one of
storing a single file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose a mail with multiple attachment.
2. Choose "Save All..."
3. "Select" is disabled.
