281774 - .webloc files have userunfriendly filenames

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[guru66]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; sv-SE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; sv-SE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0

When dragging a link href-based to the desktop on Mac OS X, from FireFox, the
filename looks like 'www.mozilla.org/docs/web...ml.webloc', but from Safari or
IE on Windows (havent tried FF on windows) the weboc file is namned 'name of
link.webloc'. Stumbed on this during development of a site where users should be
able to drag links to desktop and fire from there (marketing decition, not mine).
This should be simple to fix, and comform to what makes sense to users.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a Webpage
2. Drag link to desktop
3. Look at webloc-files filename.

Actual Results:  
The file is named with the URL

Expected Results:  
weboc file should be named with text (or title) of the link.

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.
