Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Mikko Ohtamaa]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.9) Gecko/20070126 Ubuntu/dapper-security Firefox/1.5.0.9
Build Identifier: version 1.5.0.9 (20070104)

When choosing Save all (attachments) user is prompted to choose a folder. The dialog has a misleading ok button name.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Get incoming mail w/attachments
2.Open message panel
3.Right click "Save all" on attachments
4.The dialog box opens
Actual Results:  
The "ok" button is labeled as Open ("Avaa", using Finnish localization)

Expected Results:  
The "ok" button is labeled as "Save to this folder", "Save here", etc.

This is an usability issue. Though it's minor, it's confusing the users.

Bug still valid for:
Thunderbird 3.0 version 3.0a1pre (2008040103) 
BuildID=2008040103

Would it be difficult to modify the button in the dialog box?

Actually I think it would. That's a native dialog, so the platform decides a suitable label for it.

if native dialog, then bug is invalid, like bug 384987
