[Bug 1549433] [NEW] download to symlink

 

Public bug reported:

Hi.
My home folders (Documents, Downloads, Pictures and Videos) are symlinks from a folders with the same name from SD-Card in order to save internal storage.
I made those symlinks with "ln -s  -r" through a terminal.

When I try to download a file, directly or just selecting option "open with" it fails.
If I try to download, for example a PDF file and try to open with document viewer, document viewer will say: the files doesn't exists.
If I try to download the file directly it will complete the downlad but the result will be the same.

In the log I can find that:
Failed moving file from "/home/phablet/.local/share/ubuntu-download-manager/webbrowser-app/Downloads/example.pdf" to "/home/phablet/Downloads/example.pdf

Bq E4.5 ubuntu edition.
