Downloaded files always have .bin extension
-
@sgunhouse Oh.
Conversely, i've just reconfirmed the bug here:
-
Interesting ... OP had .rpm.bin, yours is missing the architecture and original extension both.
Here's the link I downloaded the latest Opera Developer from (though the package has an error in it and won't install):
ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera-developer/51.0.2776.0/linux/opera-developer_51.0.2776.0_amd64.rpm -
@sgunhouse Oh, no, the example i gave is not the ISO file [which anyway would have had the .iso suffix, not .rpm] - it's only the checksum file.
In my previous pic i deliberately rightclicked on that link [my lhs green box] to invoke the Save As dialogue. If i instead leftclick said link, to then actually open up the checksum page, then on it invoke the Save As... , V still then appends the spurious .bin annoyance, but at least this time includes the checksum text segment in the proposed name.
As i said before, it's easy to manually post-process the resultant filenames, -- it's just quite inelegant to have to bother to do so.

Wanted to say I've noticed the same problem with Vivaldi on Linux Mint 18.2 with their versions of KDE. It's quite an annoying problem.

I'm on Arch with Plasma 5.11.3 / Framework 5.40 / Qt 5.9.3 and can confirm this behavior still persists. As mentioned before one can simply uncheck the "Automatically select filename extension" checkbox but that really defeats its purpose to begin with.

Woohoo.

Fixed a bug causing Chromium and Chrome to always append β.binβ to the end of downloaded files for users of distros with old versions of Qt and/or the shared-mime-info package (KDE bug 382437, fixed in KDE Frameworks 5.44)

@gwen-dragon No, that update has not yet flowed through to the Stable branch of Manjaro, so i have not yet personally tested it. However, i think we can now be pretty confident this is NOT a V bug, but upstream of V, hence the V bug can be safely closed now anyway... i think... do you feel that's ok?
