Description Jose Manuel López 2019-03-20 11:10:56 CET
I have observed that when trying to share a file by email, with the default Mozilla Thunderbird application, the system opens the application, but does not attach the file to be sent.

What's the file size? If you use Gmail I think there's a size limit of 5 MB.

And please don't change/erase the standard fields when opening a report. There's no way to tell which version of Thunderbird you have problems with.
Comment 3 Jose Manuel López 2019-03-20 13:12:21 CET
I do not know what it means to change the fields.

What I mean in the bug, is to share a document that I have on the desktop, from the option of the contextual menu of plasma "Share" and then "Send by email".

I think it's not a problem of Thunderbird, but of Plasma.

When you open a new report you see this in the Details window:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Mageia 7 Beta 2, Plasma Kde 5.15.3, Thunderbird 60.6


How reproducible: In a file on the desktop, click with the right button. Select option "Share" and then "Send by email".


Steps to Reproduce:
1.In a file on the desktop, click with the right button

I can confirm the issue, the file doesn't get auto-attached, but still has to be attached manually.

Maybe this only works well with kmail?

Hi,

After installation of Mageia 7, and after applied the last updates, this function works correctly.

I think if someone else can confirm this, we can close the bug.

Regards!!

I've tried put the name "Mozilla Thunderbird" in "System Preferences>Applications>Default applications>Email client", and reboot, this problem fixed.

Greetings.
