mtPaint slackbuild for Slackware 14.2: source file name gets changed when downloading with firefox
by keithpeter from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GCT9)
mtPaint is a small fast image editor (good for indexed image files) with no additional dependencies.
The mtPaint slackbuild has a link to the source .tar.gz file as usual. The link URL is
Code:https://github.com/wjaguar/mtPaint/archive/ff0a801/mtpaint-ff0a801413e612f74fe4c5d251e4bf36c6628013.tar.gzFor some reason, using Firefox this file downloads as...
Code:root@foo:/home/keith/Downloads/slackbuilds/mtpaint# ls -1

doinst.sh
mtPaint-ff0a801413e612f74fe4c5d251e4bf36c6628013.tar.gz*
mtpaint.SlackBuild*
mtpaint.info
slack-desc...which caused me some head scratching until I spotted what was happening because the slackbuild quits straight away with a 'file not found' error.
Downloading with wget results in the correct lowercase file name for the tar.gz file.
Any ideas why the name of the source code .tar.gz file get changed when saving with Firefox (both click the link and right click save as...? I've never been aware of any case changes when saving from Firefox previously.
PS: mtPaint 3.50 is out on sourceforge.
