Hi,
anyone using this feature ? And is it working still after update ?
Here it calls Thunderbird with compose message but the attachment is empty.
And i have to delete /usr/bin/thunderbird from internet-email options.

If its not working, which bugreport do i use ? All three ? :D

I have not used that feature myself, but this is not a Plamsa/neon problem as both LO and Tbird are not packaged or maintained by Neon, so I guess it is narrowed down to two places to report it?

Thx for answering.
it was working fine until update to 18.04, so i suppose "something" from neon update has to do with it.
I tested calligra, which is also not working when i want to send a document.
Can you plz try to send as pdf and see if its working for you ?

I'm travelling so I'm not near my 18.04 neon machine. But as I mentioned LO and Third are not touched by Neon, these are straight up Ubuntu 18.04 packages so this issue has nothing to do with Plasma. Both of these programs were upgraded by Ubuntu, and both are also known to do their own thing and usually have to be configured separately from the Desktop environment as well.

I'd suggest searching to find if this is an issue with Ubuntu 18.04 in general. Any fixes or settings changes would work in Neon since it is Ubuntu.

Hi Akela.
This seems to be a problem with the Ubuntu packaging of LO.
I uninstalled LO from the repos, & reinstalled it from the .deb packages on the LO website.

The function you mention works perfectly now.

Works OK here.

KDE neon User Edition based on Bionic (fresh install, not upgraded from Xenial base).
Thunderbird 60.2.1
Libreoffice Version: 6.1.2.1 installed from Libreoffice Ubuntu PPA.
https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice

Systemsettings5 -> Applications -> Default Applications -> E-mail client: Another e-mail client: thunderbird %u
(the above is translated from estonian so the wording could be not 100% correct)

Maybe you are missing "%u" ?

YES, that fixed it. Thx!
I have never looked there. Kmail was set as default mailer.
Calligra is still opening TB without attachment. But i dont care about that ;)
