Bug 596066 GIMP/File/Send by Email should use xdg-email

Hi,

I think the current implementation is in plug-ins/common/mail.c. A dialog box is created to collect information about 'from', 'to', 'filename' etc and sendmail command is called to send the mail. Now this dialog box only needs to collect the filename and after that 'xdg-email --attach ' command needs to be called.

However, I am not quite sure with this. Are there any mistakes?

Cheers, lxh

Yes - calling 'xdg-email --attach ' should be enough for most linux setups [0].

I looked at this a long time ago. See this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/msg18847.html

I was just beginning to study C at that time, so you should probably ignore any code from me though ;)

[0] Except that thunderbird has a long-standing bug that causes it to drop xdg-email attachments, but that is a separate issue. Evolution works perfectly the last time I checked.
