Re: [IAEP] journal criticism (was Re: Re: Re: [RELEASE] TurtleArt-51)
this mail got lost in the ether for 2 days, its old stuff and has been discussed long ago: [sorry, I am not on sugar-devel list] Hi Tomeu Two points expanded: altering the filenames and extensions of email attachments Could you please expand on this use case? Using webmail, you save a mail attachment to the journal, the filename is not preserved. Using webmail you retransmit the attachment, the filename and extension are lost. File turtle_art-51.xo from http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/downloads/file/26052/turtle_art-51.xo.; As soon as I downloaded to Windows it was obvious that this was not the file that downloaded. I'm failing to understand the problem. Could you please explain further? Due to some server error, the server is serving turtle_art-48.xo when the turtle_art-51.xo link is clicked. Because Windows preserves the filename, you can see that you have downloaded turtle_art-48.xo whereas Sugar uses some other process to name the downloaded file and its very hard to understand why you have v48 rather than v51 installed.

This sounds like a simple bug, could you file a ticket, please? Actually, it was a bad symlink unrelated to the Journal. No need for a ticket. But it suggests that somewhere in the download process we should reveal the actual filename of the file being downloaded.\ Yeah, that's why I asked to file a bug: because Browse is supposed to title the journal entry with the file name sent by the server.
