Description Kishore Gopalakrishnan 2017-10-27 06:04:38 UTC

After clicking a file download link, if I select the option to directly open the file instead of saving it, falkon saves the file in a directory in my home, like ~/falkonXXXXXX. While this folder is removed on Falkon exit, a better behaviour which wouldn't lead to temporary file clutter in ~ would be to save the files in a folder in ~/.local/tmp or /tmp. 

Falkon version information (from help > about Falkon):

I am using the falkon-git(https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/falkon-git/) package from the AUR.
