Hi.
I am not sure whether it's a bug or I just miss something, that's why I'm posting my support request here before filing a bug on Launchpad.
I am using Whatsdesk to manage my Whatsapp account. Something weird happens when I try to save some PDF from a chat to my /tmp
folder: the files are originally named Modello Time Sheet - Arianna Tramici .pdf
and relazione finale - Arianna Tramici .pdf
but it also happens if I save any of those as AAA.pdf
leading me to think the name should not be the issue.
Those seem to be correctly saved, but I cannot find them there: either via Caja or via terminal. I suppose they are saved somehow because when I try to save them again in /tmp
I am asked whether to overwrite the existing copies. On the other hand, I can see those files correctly both via Caja and terminal when I save them on my desktop folder (see screenshot, I just saved one of those for example on my desktop).
Via command line, it does not work either when I run sudo ls -la
or ls -la
after running su
.
Also, I cannot find them if I open Caja via sudo
or via su
. This issue does not happen when I use Whatsapp Web via browser: I can see the files wherever I saved them.
The screenshot show what I see when I save the files via Whatsdesk and when I try to find them via Caja. One more detail: I see that Whatsdesk is run as normal user, just as any other application launched though the desktop menu, as well as the firefox
browser used to run Whatsapp Web.
I think it also happened a similar thing sometime recently when I was using Linux Mint with Nemo. I only know it wasn't with Whatsdesk because I'm using it now for the first time, but cannot remember what application I was using when that similar issue happened: then I just thought I was too tired to realize where I saved my files...
Any clue?
Thanks,
Regards.
