Description George Yohng 2009-09-02 14:09:32 UTC 
Version:           0.70.90 (using 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0), MS Visual Studio 2008 SP1)
Compiler:          cl.exe
OS:                Microsoft Windows (unknown) release 6.1

A file, which is sent by a colleague of mine, appears inline in the message text. When I press Download, it allows me to choose the path, but then says 'Directory does not exist', for any path whatsoever.

Such as 'Directory D: does not exist', 'Directory C:' does not exist, 'Directory dir does not exist', and does not allow to save the file.

This happens on Windows.

Comment 3 Matt Rogers 2009-09-06 21:51:31 UTC 
This could a case of a mismatch of using KUrl's path() function instead of toLocalFile. If somebody from the windows team could provide clarification about which one would be best to use, that would be helpful.

also, we should be careful with url.directory(),
because in my case it returned '/C:/' instead of 'C:/'
