[Bug 122702] New: downloading and saving OO

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=122702

            Bug ID: 122702
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: downloading and saving OO
           Product: Infrastructure
           Version: current
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Downloads
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: mikealte@ieee.org
                CC: issues@openoffice.apache.org

Using Firefox 22 configured to ask where to put each download doesn't work. The
OO file is placed in C:\Documents and Settings\mike alterman\Local
Settings\Temp automatically - a bit confusing to me. I tried other downloads
and I get a pop-up asking where to save file. 

In Firefox, go to Tools, Options, General tab to set the download location.

>From http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html select english (us), Linux
Intel DEB.

Thought you should be aware of issue.

I'm in the process of switching from winxp pro sp3 to ubuntu 12.04 .

Thanks.

@ Rainer - I'm baffled, your suggestion to create a new profile allows me to
save any version of OO English - US to a desired location. Note; I had to
change the default location from download to always ask under options.

Thanks for your help.

I'm going to post a note to Firefox forum.

Mike
PS; if the forum administrators want to keep this open, I'll let you know the
outcome of the firefox discussion.

My test reshots:

For WIN with Seamonkey browser it works fine:
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/?source=dlp> 
I click the "Download" button, what leads to 
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/latest/download?source=dlpA>.
Auto-Forward leads to 
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/latest/download?source=dlp>,
from where after a short moment the normal browser message "what do you want to
do with AOO_incubating_3.4.1.....exe" Message appears, and the suggested page
is the one to where I downloaded latest file from that source.

More or  less the same following reporter's download link to English / WIN.

But the link for Linux-Intel-DEB seemed to ignore settings, The WIN files
Explorer immediatelyy opens to save the document.

But the WIN download is for a .exe, the linux download for a tar.gz, so this
means nothing.

I will do some more tests with a blank new browser profile.

Everything as expected for me with Seamonkey 2.17 and a new blank user profile
on WIN7, for every download the dialog asking what I want to do and where I
want to save.

I am pretty sure that user's problem is not caused by SourceForge, but by
browser settings.

@Mike A:
Please report your results with a blank new browser profile. Please be more
precise (What Lionux-DEB? 64 bit or 32bit? ENUS or EN-GB?) in your report, and
tell every mouse click an every key press.

--- Comment #1 from Marcus <ma...@apache.org> ---
I don't know how a download can influence the behavior how the browser is
saving the file. On Linux I cannot reproduce the reported issue. Is someone
able to reproduce it on Windows?

@Mike:
Have you seen this behavior also with our websites?
