DESCRIPTION:

Sometimes when using ‘Save Link’ fron the browser, thing is downloaded, but saved as unnamed_file.
The lack of a file extension (presumably) leads to Tracker ignoring it, which in turn means neither Gallery nor Media nor Documents app showing it.

PRECONDITIONS:

Maybe the webserver does not provide a useful MIME type (?), and/or the URL can not be interpreted so a file name can be determined.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Browse to a web page
  2. Select a link, long press
  3. select ‘Save Link’
  4. Try to find your saved file using any of the stock apps.

EXPECTED RESULTS:

The browser should make an effort to determine a filename extension.

I think there is also already a Feature Request ro offer file renaming in the Transfers setting app.

ACTUAL RESULTS:

See above.
