The same happens for non-Flatpak Kontact. The problem is that Kontact's desktop file does not have a URL placeholder in the Exec field: https://invent.kde.org/pim/kontact/-/blob/master/src/data/org.kde.kontact.desktop#L72 It also doesn't associate itself with the x-scheme-handler/mailto mime type, which is why it is not offered as a choice for default mail client |
SUMMARY When Kontact is install via flatpak on Fedora Kinoite and is set to the default email client, clicking on mailto link or using the right click service menu "Share->Send Via Email" will result in no action or an error "Unable to create KIO worker. Unknown protocol 'mailto' " STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install Fedora Kinoite, Install Kontact Flatpak via Flathub, Configure dummy email account 2. In System Settings -> Applications -> Default Applications, set Email client to Kontact 3. Visit any website with a clickable "mailto" email address or right click on a file and select the service menu option "Share->Send Via Email" OBSERVED RESULT Error ("Unable to create KIO worker. Unknown protocol 'mailto' ") or nothing happens. EXPECTED RESULT A new mail window from the Kontact's Kmail App should appear with a pre-filled "to" box or attached file (pending on the testing method selected).
