SUMMARY
unable to send picture using MS outlook

DISCLAIMER
I don't use windows but installed digikam on a friends computer because he had the same problem using default photo app. So I'll try to update this bug but it may take some time and my description is from my memory and thus may not be very accurate.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Fresh install of digikam 6.1 on windows 10.
- select picture
- select "send by email" from menu
- Dialog to select email client opens and offers some options.

OBSERVED RESULT
- "MS outlook" or "default email client" not selectable

EXPECTED RESULT
Best result: Default email client is used and no dialog opens at all
Second best: Dialog has "MS outlook" option

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Windows 10 (1803 / 17134.829 / 64bit)
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0
Qt Version: 5.12.2

Comment 2 Maik Qualmann 2019-07-06 19:30:22 UTC

It is possible to call the default email client via a "mailto:" URL, but most email programs no longer support attachments for security reasons. Unfortunately, Outlook also supports only one "/a" parameter via the command line and thus accepts only one attachment/image. There may be a possibility with native Windows code, but this will happen later.
