Description Matthew Cline 2000-10-05 04:26:27 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package: kmail
Version: 1.1.95.0 (KDE post 1.94 > 20000911)
Severity: wishlist

It would be nice to be able to save all of the attachments of a multi-attachment
message into the same directory.  Right now if there's 7 different attachments
in a message I have to right-click each attachment and then click on the OK
button in the "save as" dialog.

It might be quicker to drag and drop them into a Konqueror window you can do 
that.

Yes that would really be a nice feature.

Some people send lots of huge files as mail attachments that then clog up y=
our=20
mail folder.

It would be especially useful in combination with=20
wish #12384 "Save all attachments"

Maybe some remains like this should be left in the message after deleting t=
he=20
attachment:

[Developers_Manual.pdf]

[Installation_Manual.pdf]

(maybe also original file size MIME description ...)

Philipp

ALthough drag and drop is ok I would like to have a save selected attachments 
feature, i.e. I select some of the attachments which I can save in a 
directory. This would additionally require the possibility to select more than 
one attachment which seems to be not possible even in the KDE 3.1 version of 
KMail. 
Comment 4 Barry Michels 2002-12-23 07:39:20 UTC
The ability to select multiple messages and save all attachments from all selected messages 
would be nice.  Outlook Express has this feature.

Subject: You email was ignored

Your email was ignored because it looks like spam (some suspicious text in it, or domain from which came many spams to me recently). To send it to me please change text of subject and/or message and/or From email.

Sorry if this caused any problems, but this is only solution how to deal with spams.

By the way I implemented it in the mime list view. Just select the attachments you want to 
save, right click, choose "Save All Selected" and that's it. I can add it in some other place if 
people want it, in other case I opt to close it.

Subject: Re:  Save all attachments

Adding a "Save All Attachments" action to the message context menu (in 
the message pane) would be a good idea since this is what the people 
actually want and since it's much easier to execute this simple action 
than to select all attachments in the mime tree and then save them.

The difficult part is that you'll have to identify all attachments 
somehow.

Comment 10 Ferdinand Gassauer 2003-05-03 15:52:00 UTC
Hmm! 
It seems that "View Attachments" is able to do this. 
I strongly support the idea of "save all attachments" because IMHO the solution of DND has 2 
shortcomings 
- one needs a very big screen to have kmail _and_ konqueror open. 
- the attachments often have very similar names - IMHO it's difficult to keep track which ones 
are already saved. 
and it's much easier to move files between folders in konqueror after having saved them in one 
location. 
hope to see this implemented soon :-)) it migth break the record of the longest outstanding 
whish.

Hi, 
I am supporting a simply "save all attachments" option in the message pane. By the way 
I cannot find the option under the mime tree, there is no such option. It is impossible to 
mark more than one file, and just two options: "save as" and "save as encoded". 
 
I get a lot of images and pdf's and it is not really comfortable to draw each of them to 
the desktop. 
 
ciao

Is this going to appear in KDE 3.2 or?
Cause it doesn't exist in 3.1.4

Cheers

Comment 19 Ingo Klöcker 2003-11-14 17:15:02 UTC
Yes, in KDE 3.2.
