259921 - When saving all attachments, Thunderbird should provide a 'yes to all' and 'no to all' button when attempting to overwrite existing files.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Chris Ellison]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

'Yes To All' and a 'No To All' buttons should be added to the dialog that asks a
user if they want to overwrite files when saving multiple attachments.

Also, when it asks you to replace an existing file, the prompt asks a yes-or-no
question, but the user is only given "OK" and "Cancel" as responses.  These
buttons should say "Yes" and "No".

An extremely quick fix. But I am not familiar with the code.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an email with multiple attachments.
2. Right-click on some of the attachments.
3. Select "Save All..."
4. Select a directory that contains files that have the same names as the
attachments.
Actual Results:  
A prompt appears asking you if you want to overwrite the file. "Do you want to
replace it?" You can select "OK" or "Cancel". 

Expected Results:  
The buttons should read "Yes" and "No" so that the user can properly answer the
question.  Further, there should be "Yes To All" and "No To All" in case the
user has 20 attachments with the same name as existing files (this has happened
to me).

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
