A solution might be to implement the Xdnd Direct Save (XDS) protocol: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/XDS
Doing the job via XDS means Thunderbird can keep control of the saving process, can react and do extra things if a file of the same name already exists (e.g. prompt the user for a different filename and allow them to cancel), and it doesn't have to create a temporary file to pass to the file manager via a uri link. The following file managers, at least, support XdndDirectSave0 as drop targets: * Nautilus * Thunar * xfdesktop4 * rox-filer I imagine dolphin in KDE4 would support it too. The file-roller code ( apt-get source file-roller ) and 'gtksavebox.c' in ROX-CLib ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/rox/files/ROX-CLib/2.1.10/ ) are examples of how to to it in C. I can be more specific on request. In response to comment 88 (by karlt), explicit support isn't needed in GDK: see the source code examples I link to above. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kde-baseapps in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/381017 Title: Cannot drag attachment from mail attachment pane to desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/seamonkey/+bug/381017/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
