Posted: Tue Apr 16, 2013 12:03 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Firefox - print to file - can not change directory |
|
|
I just notice that Firefox-17.0.4 has a problem "print to file" to a different directory than home.
When I select print to file (pdf) and select different directory than "/home/joseph" it still print to my home directory.
Can anybody confirm it?

Hi Joseph_sys,
I've checked this for Firefox-17.0.5 and every thing is working as expected.
Perhaps it is a little bug of the previous version.

I just upgraded to Firefox-17.0.5 and every text I print to "pdf" file goes to my /home/joseph/ folder not the one I selected. |

I didn't even know how to make a PDF file this way until I saw this post.
I can say that I now know how to make the PDF file and was able to send a file to the folder that I selected other then /home/don I was able to send it to /home/don/easy.
I also have Firefox-17.0.5
So must be something that is not working just for you. |

All my system are effected AMD64 and x86 and the problem is I don't even know where to look.
Another strange things I've noticed, when I go to Firefox - Print to File: the "Save in Folder" is empty before it used to be by default "joseph" |

? Even if you click on it ? Mine is empty until I click on it then I can select .
1. Don
2. Desktop
3. File System
4. Backup partition 1
5. Backup partition 2
6. Other
I can select any of them and by selecting ( other ) I can move throw the folders to the one that I want.
I don't know if this tells you anything or not and don't have any idea what to tell you to look for other wise. |

After recent upgrade that field "Save in Folder" is empty as well; but my two other system (not upgraded yet) showing "user_name" directory as default.
I'm looking for some kind or relation as I have some problem with printing to pdf files. |

SOLVED!
The problem is caused by: x11-libs/gtk+-2.24.16
I just downgrade to x11-libs/gtk+-2.24.12 and all my systems are working perfectly. |
