Hello,

I have set to KMail to prefer html. Some of the images show up as attachments. Please see the pictures. Any way to avoid such a scenario.

Images are shown as blocked content.

Images are attached to the email

Can you try changing preferences in viewing? View -> Attachments -> Show inline.

Nothing changes between smart and inline. It stays same. I am running Plasma 5 on Fedora 20 but I think it shouldn't matter.

Can you check bugs.kde.org if a bug has been reported?

Will do.

Hi, Sudhir.
Did you solve this problem? I'm on Kmail 5.1.1, and it's the same you reported: attached images aren't shown no matter which view mode is selected, in fact chaging mode doesn't do anything. Images inserted in HTML mails are shown correctly, though.

I didn't find any solution. The bug report didn't get any love. The last comment by PIM dev was made over an year ago. Nothing has really changed.

Sorry to read that.
I'm fairly new to these forums, and not a very long time user of KDE, but as I'm seeing, it seems that on one hand developers ask for bug reports, but on the other hand there are many, many bugs that are plainly ignored if not despised. Why? I don't understand it. Do developers just ignore those bugs that don't affect features they use or is just a matter of scarce developers' time? Nov. 2014 -when he told you it was in his ToDo- till Jan. 2016 seems a period generous enough for at least give your bug report an answer, even just a «Bufff, too difficult. Sorry, I don't have the time to fix it». So scarce time do they have? These are rethoric questions, a personal reflection; I'm not asking to you, of course, heheh.
I have asked some questions on this forum, and a user kindly asked me to file bug reports, but I honestly don't know if I should, it seems rather probable that they would be just a waste of time and internal peace.

Well, thanks for your answer. Let's hope some other developer can pay more attention to this issue.


Cheers

Hi eemantsal,

It's a complex problem. The basic idea is that developers work in their free time on the things they like whether it's writing a new feature or fixing a bug. They also have to be affected with the bug. Sometimes they come about to fix it. Sometimes it's not on their priority list. You have to decide how much it bothers you.

Regards,
Sudhir.

I can understand that many developers are just passionate programmers who invest some of their free time and probably don't have the will to make boring things like fixing bugs. I don't know anything about coding, but can imagine that is much funnier developing new features or make a gorgeous design that investigate why this thing works wrong or that one doesn't work at all, but I thought most "big" developers were professionals who work in companies, like Suse, Blue Systems, Kolab, etc, who paid them a salary for working 35 or 40 hours a week in the products they offer, the desktop enviroments and apps they use, included. I know these companies are not as big and whealthy as Apple, so I understand there's probably not many people working for them ergo not much total developer time compared to all the bugs and defficiencies that may arose, but, I don't know, simply an answer at least, after 14 months... The impression I, as a plain user, preceive is of a sort of "brushing aside".
Ok, I'm divagating too much from the topic of this thread. I hope I'll learn more about this issue as I'm getting more experience in this forum.

Regards, and thanks for your time.
