export the xml to a specific location?

[peter vande weyer]

when you do a search for issues, in the resultpage you can do an export as xml.

This will open the xml in the default browser.

Is there a way to automatically save this xml as an xml file in a specific location instead of opening it in a browser?

Thanks in advance

It is not clear to me, is that location on the server or on the client?

That is because you have set your browser to automatically open xml files (may be an off the shelf setting for some browsers)

You can disassociate it, but generally, use " right-click -> save as " is the most simple option.

What we actually try to achieve is that when one of our users does this export, it shows up in the same folder. 

In Nic's solution our users have to much control. We want that when a user does the xml export, that an xml file is saved at a specific location, without opening a browser.

Is that possible?

Yes, tell them to disassociate "xml" files from their browser so it puts them in the download directory instead.

The point here is that this behaviour is controlled on the *client* side, it's not JIRA that handles the xml - it hands it over to the client browser and then has no control over it.
