Sunbird 0.9, Ubuntu 9.10; Thunderbird 2.0.0.23, Ubuntu 9.10

1. Right-click on a PNG or JPEG file.
2. Open the "Open With" submenu.
3. Choose "Mozilla Thunderbird Mail/News" or "Sunbird".

What happens:
2. "Mozilla Thunderbird Mail/News" and "Sunbird" are present in the submenu.
3. Thunderbird or Sunbird launches, but does not open the image.

What should happen:
2. Thunderbird and Sunbird should not be present in the submenu.

This is a bug in firefox download manager

[Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt)]

How does it have anything at all to do with Firefox?

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

Moving to Sunbird.

I can confirm the desktop file claims to support the image types.

Matthew:
Sorry i thought you stated that you were trying to download the image. As i recall there is a bug for other apps that have same issues, I just dont recall the bug #

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Ignore my last comment i was doing 2 bugs at once. i found the problem but i will wait for either a list of fixes or 1.0* this way im not uploading 1 fix that is not really important as much as some others would be.

The reason for this bug is when i first packaged sunbird i used thunderbird package and adjusted as needed and it seems i forgot to remove that. It has been there since 0.5 (fairly sure that was the first package in Ubuntu

[Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt)]

I guess this bug needs to be fixed in exactly the same way in the Thunderbird package as it does in the Sunbird package.

I just got something weird. Png files wanted to open with thunderbird. Yesrterday they were beeing opened with rosseta witch is defaul image opener in Xubuntu.
Last things i did:
Yesterday i made update
Installed gobby
Totady installed xchat qwit gwibber
uninstalled xchat.

[Lionel Le Folgoc (mrpouit)]

Default file associations in xubuntu-default-settings already use ristretto as image viewer, not thunderbird.

[Jānis Kangarooo (kangarooo)]

Yes ristretto was default till now and now it has changed to tunderbird.

This should be fixed when we update to 1.0
I am unable to package it for this dev cycle due to personal responsibility
