[SOLVED] Action "Send mail" for Dolphin

[g.]

Hi,

I downloaded a .desktop file to add a service menu (action) to dolphin. Below please find the file, it works fine with one single file while it opens two different new mails when trying to send two files together. The behavior is the same with Dolphin and Konqueror.

I'm using Kubuntu 8.10 with KDE 4.1 and Thunderbird from the repository.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance,
g.

Re: Action "Send mail" for Dolphin

Have you tried with the %F ?

http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebas...izing-kde.html

%f A single file name; used when dropping file on icon, or with file associations.
%F A list of files; use for applications that can open several local files at once.

or with the: ...,attachment='%U')" ?

Re: Action "Send mail" for Dolphin

thanks a lot, in both cases (with %F or %U) the behavior is not correct, it open only a single new mail (instead of two) but with a single file as attachment.

maybe it is related with the specific thunderbird command?

Re: Action "Send mail" for Dolphin

There is > Thunderbird Service Menu and > Command line arguments - Thunderbird

BUT here the Thunderbird can't start more than one attachment.

CLI command:

thunderbird -compose attachment="file:///file01,file:///file02"

only attachs the first file.
