Cannot save attachments

Post by wiltronix »

Yes I have the same problem using version 68.12
Been using thunderbird since it grew from netscape communicator and used many different versions.
But this latest install gives this peculiar error and is very annoying when receiving large numbers of attachments.
When selecting SAVE ALL I must browse to the desired directory and click save, but if there is a subdirectory present the SAVE button is not available only a SELECT DIRECTORY button. If I do not select directory and simply hit enter to save the attachment, the error message appears and files are not saved.
Only solution is to select and save files one by one, or add a new folder each time I want to save multiple files.

I split your post from its original location as that thread had died 3 years ago and involved version 45.nn of the software.

I can't replicate your reported experience. Does the same thing occur if you launch the application in Mozilla Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
