[RESOLVED] Export Whitelist error under Linux

Post by SeanM »

Under Linux (openSUSE 11.4, KDE 4.7.1), running Firefox 6.0.2 and NoScript 2.1.2.9rc1, attempts to export the whitelist presents

(note that the destination is "Custom Path > .." and the target DSN is ".")

Next, navigate to the desired destination:

click "Save" and the response is

Circumvention:

At the initial display (above), click on "Home" in the upper-left (or any valid destination), and receive

Navigate to the desired destination, and provide an alternate filename, if desired:

click "Save", and the whitelist is correctly exported.

(Take note that under Windows, the initial export panel correctly anchors to "My Documents" (Windows/XP).)

Possible origin of the problem is anchoring (the "Custom Path > ..) to the Linux root /Home directory, rather than the users true Home. NoScript, running under the user, would not normally have write access to the root directory, nor the root/Home anchor.

Installed and tested above build. Export anchors to the users home (the Linux userid). The export function sets the default exported file name to the userid, and may be changed to any valid filename, including appending ".txt", if desired, for Windows.

Thanks for the solution!
