[Sugar-devel] [PATCH Browse] Remove temporary downloaded (cancelled) files SL #3973

[Manuel Kaufmann]

When a download is cancelled for any reason WebKit leaves a temporary
file called ".goutputstream-*" in the "instance" directory. This is
because of a bug in GLib:

 * https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=629301

This patch is a workaround to that behaviour. Every time that Browse
is started it looks for all the ".goutputstream" files in the
"instance" directory and checks its mtime. If it greater than 1 day it
removes the old temporary file.
