Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.2) Installed from: SuSE RPMs In KMail, I've preselected Amarok as my default player for MP3 files. Whatever the MP3 file attached to an email, if I click on it, Amarok display it in its playlist but the file doesn't play automatically, even if I select it in the playlist and click on "Play". The error message in Amarok is "The local file doesn't exist". I first suspected MP3 filenames containing blanks or special character so I renamed an MP3 file to test.mp3 and created an email in KMail. I attached test.mp3 to the email and saved the email as "Draft". Then I closed KMail, reopen it, opened the draft email and tried to play the attached test.mp3 file, with no more luck. :-/ the error log from Amarok gives : TagLib: Could not open file /tmp/kde-fred/test.mp3_[Zru96b].mp3
The problem is that, when you start $KDEDIR/bin/amarok, it exits soon after. (because it forks) When amarok exits, KMail erases the attachment. I don't know if this can be fixed.
Is there a special reason why Amarok exits soon after (forks) ?
