I think Tero Karvinen's solution of patching gtkFileChooser is excellent: [quote] When the "File: Save as" dialog is shown: 1) Check if "Save in folder" is /tmp/ or /var/tmp/ 2) If yes, change the "Save in folder" to $HOME In Evince pdf document viewer, it is already solved like this.
In the highly unlikely (imposible?) case that user wants to store a document under /tmp, he is free to navigate to that directory [/quote] If it is found to be objectionable that people using /tmp as working directory have to browse to /tmp every time they save their file: a solution with read-only flag for temporary files can be thought of (gtk- file-chooser will only do /tmp-->$HOME when file is read-only) but this will require patches for all pieces of software creating the file in /tmp. -- Users should be discouraged from editing temporary files https://launchpad.net/bugs/15179 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
