** Description changed: Impact ------ nautilus-sendto is installed by default in Noble but it is not being used in nautilus since nautilus dropped the code that used the extension[1] in favor use the xdg-desktop-portal interface instead. The issue is that the portal can’t be used to attach files to thunderbird because the desktop portal constructs an mailto: url with an attachment= but thunderbird upstream explicitly decided to not allow adding files from an URL for security reasons. As such, when the user tries the "Email" button in the file context menu of Nautilus, Thunderbird launches without any attached file. Check also bug report on Nautilus[2] and rejected special casing for Thunderbird on the portal[3].

Expected: A Thunderbird email composition window opens and the selected files are listed as attachments at the bottom of the window. + + Repeat the above with nautilus-sendto uninstalled. + + Expected: A Thunderbird email composition window opens but without + attachments. Regression potential -------------------- The original logic must remain unaltered for the case nautilus-sendto is not installed. Original report --------------- Hi, After upgrade from 22.04 to 22.10 Send an attached file to email from nautilus is not working anymore. Menu sendmail ( courriel in french) appears when i right click on file , then thunderbird appears but without the attachement . It was working very well with previous releases . regards Yanick ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.10 Package: nautilus 1:43.0-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.19.0-23.24-generic 5.19.7 Uname: Linux 5.19.0-23-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.23.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Thu Nov 17 18:42:19 2022 InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-10-16 (397 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 21.10 "Impish Indri" - Release amd64 (20211012) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) usr_lib_nautilus: file-roller 43.0-1 nautilus-extension-gnome-terminal 3.46.2-1ubuntu1 nautilus-image-converter 0.4.0-2 python3-nautilus 4.0-1
