Comment #4 on issue 24210 by kfinity: Cannot drag a bookmark into desktop http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=24210
Eh, I think the "Error while copying "/"." behavior is the same as issue 27337. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=27337 The problem is that when you drag a link (the favicon or a link on a page) Chromium (and the Chrome beta) tries to save a copy of the page with the same name and extension as the URL ends with. Right? But if the URL is at the root of a website (e.g. "http://www.google.com/";, the filename it tries to save is "/", which is not a valid filename. Incidentally, when I drag a bookmark to the desktop, Chromium tries to do a move instead of a copy. I'm not sure if this is the place to mention that even when it works (ie, when the URL ends in a valid Linux filename), Chromium doesn't actually create a shortcut link (the expected behavior on other platforms), it saves a copy of the entire document. And it doesn't do any MIME content-type checking on the file extension. If we did save dragged links as shortcuts, we could just use the page title or link text as the filename, which I think is the behavior for Firefox, etc. Hmm... yeah, Firefox saves as "Link to (page title)". No extension. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
