285788 - Download Manager increments version numbers of already existing downloads

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 231048

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[image57]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1

If I download any software with the format <appname>-<version#>.<ext> (i.e.
putty-0.57-installer.exe), and I already have the same file in the download
directory, the Download Manager makes it putty-1.57-installer.exe instead of
putty-0.57-installer-1.exe, which is what I would expect.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download any file with the above format
2. Re-download it without deleting the first copy
3.

Actual Results:  
Download Manager increments the first number it encounters after the first dash

Expected Results:  
append the dash to the end of the filename before the extension
