Description Christoph Thielecke 2024-07-24 09:36:59 UTC 
I tried to send pictures by email using the plugin.
The setup is a bit weird as I have to select the mail program by hand.
Next, I can't specify parameters (open kmail without parameters may not making sense if not supplied by digikam, e.g. --composer)

So get this working I tried to add a (executable) bash script to /usr/local/bin (kmail_new_mail) containing:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/kmail --composer

As a surprise, digikam copies the selected binary to /run/user/1000/doc/xxxxxx and run this.
I would exepect that is will execute the program directly.

Unlikly it seems that kmail is not started, as no window pops up.

Of course we start KMail directly, I actually use this more often. It just doesn't work in Snap or Flatpak packages, because of the sandbox, which we have no control over. Use our AppImage.
