Bug Description

If I click on a WMV movie in Firefox, Totem is offered as the default movie viewer. The movie downloads fully, then Totem plays it. So far so good!

However, if I then decide I'd like to keep that file, there's no way to do that -- short of using Playlist -> "Copy Location", then decoding that URL-format string into an un-encoded path, then going into another window, and finding that file manually.

Since Totem already has the file open, it seems like it'd be pretty trivial to offer a "Movie" -> "Save As..." menu item to save the file to another location...

since flash videos from youtube are loaded in tmp folder, you can copy it, but first you should wait to be fully loaded in youtube ;)
