Closed Vistaus closed 7 years ago

Vistaus commented 7 years ago

Steps to reproduce:

1 Right-click a picture in the home timeline 2 Click Save as... 3 Save the picture 4 Picture isn't truly saved as it ends up as a unusable 0kb file

Distro: Solus Corebird: latest git master

When do you check that the picture is 0kb? It has to be downloaded first, so there needs to be some time between saving and inspecting the file.

Vistaus commented 7 years ago

I check after several minutes.

I can't reproduce this here. Does it happen with every image? Is there any console output when you save an image and get a 0kb file?

Vistaus commented 7 years ago

It seems to happen with Instagram images. I know you can't technically directly save images from Instagram unless the app implements a workaround (like many 3rd-party Instagram apps do). So I think the solution to this issue would be:

a) Corebird should implement a workaround to save images like many 3rd-party Instagram clients

or

b) Corebird should not offer the Save As option for Instagram images to avoid confusion

I can confirm it's fixed now. Thank you!!! :)
