Review for Thunderbird Conversations by Corran
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
I love the addon; but I hate that everytime I click the icon for an attachment it opens it and dumps a copy on my desktop. I'd like to be able to specify a location to save them; or just keep the native open the file from a temporary folder behavior.
-- I understand I can get a "Save as Dialog" by clicking the Save Button displayed next to the attachment; the behavior of actually clicking on the attachment and it opening right away, but dumping the file on the desktop as opposed to the Thunderbird native behavior of a temporary folder seems to be directly related to the plugin. Considering turning off the plugin and the expected behavior is the file is opened in the application from a temporary folder.
Conversations implements and follows the standard Thunderbird behaviour, so I would suggest filing an issue with Thunderbird.
You can get a save dialog by clicking the save button that is displayed next to the attachment.
