That's pretty unsatisfactory.   This wasn't a notice that saving
a file was impossible, merely that it was overly inconvenient.

First, people may sometimes want to save an incoming file to a
specific place.   I had some audio that I wanted to put directly
into an already-existing folder.   I didn't have Downloads open.

Yes, it is *possible* to
(1) dig for your desktop and open a file
manager.  (2) Navigate it to the downloads folder.
(2) Open another file manager and navigate *it* to the target
folder.
(3) Find the file that you just got from bluetooth.   This may
not be a trivial task if the downloads folder is crowded.
(4) Drag it to the target folder.

...but it might be better to have a "Save As" option on the
bluetooth applet.
