Send by email

[Thomas Queste]

Plugin for send an email with the screenshot attached to it directly from the Shutter.

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

Good idea.

I'm not sure how to accomplish though - is there a standard protocol for
opening the user's email client and adding an email as an attachment...

[Mario Kemper (Romario) (mario-kemper)]

You can use xdg-email (terminal app) for example.

We should add this to core (title edited).

Hi!
I've added this in the Menu bar and added a shortcut ctrl-shift-E.

Was tested in Ubunto 9.04 and 9.10 and feel free to consider it.

PS: also changed

-use File::Basename qw / fileparse dirname /;
+use File::Basename qw/ fileparse dirname /;

because it borked the vim parser :p

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

Thanks a ton!

Shutter 0.85.1 - Karmic 9.04 & 9.10
This bug 'send by email' affects me too on Evolution

"Cannot attach file %2Fhome%2usert%2FPictures%2FShutter%2Fxxxx%202009-12-15%2015%3A29%3A15.png: No such file or directory"

[José Borges Ferreira (underspell) (jose-ferreira)]

Hi!

That's neither a Shutter nor Evolution bug.
Apparently xdg-email is url_encond'ing the filenames.

This patch solves issue.

@Jose

Thank you. How to I install the patch. I am familiar with bash basic commands, but I have never installed a patch.

[José Borges Ferreira (underspell) (jose-ferreira)]

Hi!

This is a patch for shutter 0.85.1. Default shutter on Karmic Koala is 0.80.1.

To apply just download the file, open a terminal and type "sudo patch < /path/to/downloaded/shutter.diff" ( without the quotes and with corrected path to the downloaded patch file ).
If it ask for a filename , put "/usr/bin/shutter".

<j/>

[nomnex (nomnex)]

Thank you for the instructions. What about the newer shutter releases.
Will we still need the patch?

@José Borges Ferreira (underspell) : I know you've used the 'mailto:' syntax in you initial patch and I've used xdg-email instead when implementing it. I didn't know that it was broken in earlier versions.

But I am still wondering where the differences are. Why should you use xdg-email when it works with xdg-open as well. Does xdg-open (and the 'mailto:' syntax) only work with GNOME or does it work with other desktop environments as well?
If yes, I don't understand why xdg-email exists...

[José Borges Ferreira (underspell) (jose-ferreira)]

xdg-email is a bash script that is a wrapper for gnome-open ( for Gnome . Also supports kde and xfce ) like xdg-open . it "url_encode"s all the parameters and Evolution doesn't like it. So i go for xdg-open directly without the encoding.

BTW : I mentioned before , that that wasn't a bug in Evolution, but probably is.
I also tried to change default Mail reader to Thunderbird (System / Preferences / Preferred Applications) and noted that this doesn't work because thunderbird has no native integration with gnome. Someone had developed this ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/12523 ) to mitigate this issue. Alternative if you know that user wants thunderbird ( by detecting or by configuration ) can issue this command thunderbird -compose "attachment='file:///path/to/screenshot.png'" as in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments_(Thunderbird).

I'll look into this in more detail and if i find a way to detect if the mailer is thunderbird i i'll drop you a note.
