A) Any mail attachment file type that I want to save to disk is beeing appended
.jpg.
B) The same happens now with known attachments (with a correctly associated
helper application). Mail suggests to start the attachment in the correctly
defined application.... in the next step the application is NOT started but a
jpg viewer is started hwich tries to visualize the attachment. This happens
because again the .jpg is beeing appended.
A) happenes all the time for the save to disk option for attachments.
B) worked corectly until recently although I didn't make any modifications to
mozilla !!
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. click mail attachment and save to disk or start helper application
2.
3.
Actual Results:
".jpg" is appended to the attachment and either the suggested filename for the
save to disk operation is wrong or the wrong helper application is launched.
(starts jpg viewer with any file type...because .jpg is appended to the attachment)
Expected Results:
not append jpg
propose the correct filename to save to disk or start the (correctly identified)
helper application
interestingly just before the step of starting a helper application, the
attachment is correctly associated with its helper application.
Then agreeing to start the app, .jpg is appended? and a jpg viewer is staretd
Yes I have searched the archive but found zaro
Do you have under helper applications any association for
application/octet-stream or something for *jpg/jpeg? Delete these entries and
retest it.
Looks like bug 205381 which is a dupe of bug 189598. Similiar bug is bug 210958.
