+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #224692 +++ Given by bug 224692 comment 92 the compression settings from the parent folder aren't inherited when downloading a file. That happens because after the download completes, the file is being moved from the download temp directory and the compression properties aren't updated. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a folder on the same partition where the temp directory resists 2. Create a download folder and add the compression flag to the folder properties. 3. Download a file to that directory and see that it doesn't inherit the setting.
