I also find this change highly annoying. I guess I understand why
people who are new to Linux would not understand that saving their
important files in /tmp is bad. But to people who have used Linux for a
long time and are accustom to the old functionality this is really
intrusive. For myself I have lots of reports that are downloaded from
the web or email. I open these reports in open office, change the
sorting or formatting to take a look at the data, then close the file.
I don't care about the changes that I have made, I just wanted to look
at the data a different way for the moment. So it works out really well
that these files are saved to /tmp and eventually automatically deleted.
Since Openoffice does not allow you to change anything about a file when
its read only, not even change the sort order, I have to open the file,
save it (in /tmp), just to change the sort order. I am okay with the
default functionality the way it is for the Linux newbies, but I need an
option in both Firefox and Thunderbird that allows me to use the
applications like I have for years.
Does anyone know of a way to do this?
Thanks
Eric
