Description phma 2018-02-01 21:10:14 UTC
1. Bring up any page with an image, such as http://www.comedycv.co.uk/mattparker/index.html
2. Right-click on the image, and pick "Save Image As..."

1. Bring up any webpage.
2. Pick "File|Save as..." from the menu.

Expected behavior: A file dialog pops up asking me where to save the file.
Actual behavior: Nothing happens.

Cannot reproduce on openSUSE Tumbleweed. On both operations, a file dialog is displayed.
Comment 2 phma 2018-02-23 01:32:08 UTC
Could this be a bug in the Artful Aardvark package? I've also seen it throw a file in ~/Downloads when I downloaded it, instead of asking where I want to put it. Sometimes I want to save a file somewhere else.

Konqueror in Xenial Xerus did not have this bug.
Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2018-02-23 02:10:49 UTC
I remember seeing comments that it does not work (yet) with kdewebengine, but works with kdewebkit. Comment #1 was indeed using kdewebkit.
Comment 4 phma 2018-02-23 03:32:02 UTC
In "Configure Konqueror", I found "Default web browser ergine". The choices are WebEngine and KHTML (no kdewebkit). It was set to WebEngine. I changed it to KHTML and tried to save a picture. The picture appeared in Downloads without any file dialog popping up.
Comment 5 Christoph Feck 2018-02-23 03:34:30 UTC
kdewebkit is a separate package; it is even possible that your distribution dropped it in favor of kdewebengine.

This is an unrelated problem (though also specific to the webenginepart), and has been fixed meanwhile in KDE Applications 17.08:
https://cgit.kde.org/konqueror.git/commit/?id=86ed60240e9eeb4bef08fa5fbdef04206ba2f04c

I can confirm that "File->Save as..." has no effect with webenginepart, but works fine with KHTML and kwebkitpart as mentioned.
I suppose we should change the component appropriately...

PS: "Save Image As..." in an image's context menu opens the image in a new tab here (same as "View Image", so probably a different problem. (this also works fine with KHTML and kwebkitpart)

I just upgraded to Bionic and am trying to download Julia. I right-click on the 64-bit binary link on https://julialang.org/downloads/ and pick Save As. Now it doesn't go anywhere! It shows a progress bar on the taskbar, then two things pop up just above the taskbar, but when I look for the downloaded file, it's not in Downloads, it's not in /tmp, and it's not anywhere in my home directory.

Save As needs to bring up a Save As dialog box, so that I can choose where to put the file.
