Renato: That’s weird. But I’m very sorry I’m dying to use Chrome but I don’t have an XP to test now :(. I’m fresh out of tips I’m afraid.

Dear Bashar:

1- I check the folder and there is not the files

2- I do not have a download management software

3- Do you have permissions to write to your desk? yes I have

When I rigth click on image to save it nothing happens, when I try to download an attachment from my Gmail account nothing happens.

I think there is a problem with my OS taht is Windows XP.

Renato: Sorry for the delay. Somehow your comment got marked as spam. My bad.

I haven’t really encountered such a problem before, and unfortunately, my PC is dead for some time and I’m only using Mac now, so I can’t try and test it. There are some similar mentions on the web, non I found with appropriate solution. But here are few tips that might help:

1- Just to mke sure, Google Chrome tends to download files automatically by default to Downloads folder under My Documents. So make sure files aren’t already downloaded there.

2- Do you have a download management software? This might be causing some conflict or taking over.

3- Do you have permissions to write to your desk?

Hope one of these help. Let me know how it goes.

muddaube: I totally agree about the Plugins, like Web Developer. I have Chrome installed however I don’t get your Save As problem with Firefox. And yes, the Agent is

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.4.154.29 Safari/525.19

I guess it’s kinda easy to guess looking at functionality of it.

Thanks for the tip and tests :)

It is interesting to note that the Agent String is :

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.X.Y.Z Safari/525.13.

So it is considered a “Mozilla” browser

Yes, that did it. I went ahead and uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and it did the trick. I am using a lot of plugins with Firefox, so it may be a result of that kind of integration.
It happened after I made Chrome my default browser.

There are still some things in Firefox that I can not live without. i.e – web developer, timestamp, delicious bookmarks, etc.

Muddauber: Firefox also? Haven’t heard such complain before. Perhaps clean re-install would help, not a bad idea.

I have the same problem but it now messes up Chrome and Firefox SAVE IMAGE AS.

I get mail.google.com.htm as a CHROME.HTML

and to save a file I get the options of HTML only or web page.If I guess and save image file as a .jpg and it is a jpg, I can save it. The save images works with IE, but not with Firefox. It continues to work with Chrome. I ran a registry cleaner on my system and it didn’t help. I also went in and changed image file associations to be matched with Firefox and still no go.

I’m going to try a clean reinstall of Firefox and hope that works.

SK: Sorry I misunderstood you. Yes, it shows for me as “Picture” as well, but since extension is set to jpg, it sets it by default if you don’t change the name.

nemo: I would like to see what you have in mind. Perhaps a post about it would be of interest :)

nemo — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 11:01:05 +0000

yes i installed it akeed when it was released and used it for like 2 days but there are still many things that they need to look at :)

SK — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 07:58:31 +0000

It saves alright for me if I don’t change the file name. But what I mean is, when you’re saving an image called, say, “picture”, then by default in the Save As field, does it show up as “picture.jpg” or just “picture”?

It shows just “picture” for me, without the .jpg extension but it still saves as a JPEG file and it opens correctly as long as I don’t change the name.

nemo: Yeah, but I still advise you to see what the buzz is all about. This is one Beta software that is default browser for many.

SK: Welcome. For me, if I don’t change image file name, it saves with proper extension and dot separator. Doesn’t it for you?

By: SK

SK — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 19:09:01 +0000

I just have a small query: Does the default file name include the extension for anybody?

Thanks.

It’s extremely relieving to find out that this is a known bug. Paranoid as I am, I re-installed Chrome twice over.

Thanks a lot!

i havnt used chrome yet .. waiting for a better release :p
the first version will always contain such bugs, its normal

maryam: I agree on your first point. The work around is not so much trouble really, but I wonder why it takes them long time to fix, or at least confirm it.

first let me say, I love how images are saved and displayed in the bottom of Chrome. How they slide and I get to open the folder :) nice

another thing when “saving as” if I accept the default naming, it will include the dot, once I try to “save images as” and type in the name I want then no dot appears! and the problem you mentioned happens!

But I really don’t mind the work around you mentioned until they get this problem fixed
