Well no, of course not. But the /tmp folder exists, but no the rest of
the path.  But even changing it to /tmp the red text showin that it
can not be written still shows that it can not be written. This is
clearly a bug, and the second bug or issue is that you can enter a non
existing path and it will still try to download. Do you see what I
mean?
