 In latest Tails when attempting to save to the tor-browser folder (
 /usr/local/lib/tor-browser ) the print to file functionality seems to fail
 silently, which makes sense as the amnesia user doesn't have write
 permissions there.  However, the UI does not provide any indication of
 file write failure.  As expected, the multiprocessing option also has no
 effect in this scenario.

 > So, interestingly enough on Tails Tor Browser  (version 7.0.6) only
 seems to be able to write to /home/amnesia/Tor\ Browser.  Other valid
 paths (~, ~/Documents, ~/media/amnesia/Disk) are not writable and any
 attempt to do so fails silently (including saving an image, saving a web-
 page, printing).  File browser also refuses to even read contents of any
 folder except for /home/amnesia/Tor\ Browser and Tor Browser's
 installation directory.

 install (Ubuntu 17.04), ie I can pretty much read/write anywhere that's
 consistent with folder permissions.  Is Tor Browser in Tails more
 restricted somehow?

 Yes, I think so. Did you get anything printed to /home/amnesia/Tor\
 Browser? If so, is it working with, say, Tails in French as well?
