Youi know this is facinating. I tried for 1/2 hour, even using the help info. As far as
I can
see I can put the downloads in any directory except the users home directory. If you
can do it let me know how.
Just how is it keeping you from selecting your home directory? Just a
guess, you may be getting bit by the bug, er, I mean "feature", in the
latest gtk+ file selector that insists on selecting the first subfolder
in a folder. So if you select "Home" in the folder hierarchy tabs or
double click the bookmark for your home directory, it will open ~/, but
the first folder will be selected. So clicking "Open" will cause that
subfolder to be selected, rather than "Home". You'll need to ctrl-click
the subfolder to de-select it, then click "Open".
