[Bug 629706] [NEW] Default print to pdf filename creates hidden file

[oddentity]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

File -> Print -> Print to File

The default name for Postscript and PDF files is just the extension,
i.e. ".ps" or ".pdf".

Therefore, if you print file to Desktop for example and forget to
provide a file name, nothing will appear to happen. There will be no
files on the user's Desktop. Of course, it really is there, but you only
see it if you show hidden files or `ls -a.`

Consequently, user may be forgiven for thinking that printing to file
doesn't work.

I would expect the application to either force me to type a file name if
I forgot to, or to provide a default that doesn't create a hidden file.


lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
