Package: d4x
Version: 2.5.7.1-2
Severity: normal
Hi!
When a HTTP download has a url basename (or the Filename, if not
provided by the user explicitly) not the same as the filename="..."
field in Content-Disposition, d4x tries to copy the file to the
latter on completion of download (An example of this would be any
download on http://www.uploading.com). This causes problems when the
machine is low on space, as you end up needing twice the disk space
actually needed, sometimes not possible for large files. So, if this
is indeed intended, there should atleast be an option to move the
file to the new name (and not do anything at all, i.e. not respect
the C-D filename field, if the user specifies a filename
explicitly), or start off the download with the filename present in
C-D.
I am flagging this with severity normal rather than wishlist because
this behaviour, IMO, is counter-intuitive to what the user
expects. I mean, if I ask d4x to download one file, I should land up
with only one file at the end! :)
Regards,
Ramkumar.
