What happened?
Hello,
I've been experiencing the same issue throughout the latest builds. Basically, for each and every download, whatever the type of file or source, it silently fails, leaving a "*.part" file inside the chosen path of the download. Similarly, whenever I upload a file, the same silent fail happens, like the path of the file isn't properly considered.
Expected behavior
Download/uploads are correctly handled
Actual behavior
Download/upload silently fails, are not performed ; download leaves a "*.part" file in the chosen path
Steps to reproduce
- Any download (even with the dialog for choosing the desired location)
- Any upload (via an action button to choose the desired file / drag and drop)
