New folder should be created. Possibility to rename the new folder What happens instead? New created folder disappears after 1 or 2 seconds This only happens in the Standard-Download folder which was created during the OS installation. Per default its named "Downloads". I also tried other applications. For example i created a new text- document in libre office and choose "save to". I switched into /Home/mf/Downloads/ and created a new folder. It works. Then i tried chromium again, download a file (no matter which filetype), and it doesn't work. I am not able to create a new folder into Downloads via the download dialogue.
