Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Compiled From Sources OS: Linux Just recieved an invitation in Kmail and was trying to push that into korganizer. It didn't work and checking for the reason I noticed that the attachment was saved in /tmp/kde-dag/kmailL7Ggsb.3/meeting.ics, when the open dialog says: Import calendar at 'file:///tmp/kde-dag/meeting.ics_{dERwlc].ics' into KOrganizer. And sure enough making a link between the two names did make the meeting show up in KOrganizer. Is this a setting I have missed or a bug?
Assuming that the mismatched brackets in the file name are a typo and "meeting.ics_{dERwlc].ics" should be "meeting.ics_[dERwlc].ics" Seems to work here (PIM 3.5.5+ work branch). Same as bug 130709?
Your assumption is right, sorry about that. That bug implies that you have to be fast when selecting what to do with the file.... Hope that is not it. One other strange thing I just noticed is that until I make that link the invitation is just displayed as an attachment. After the link is created it is displayed in a "human readable" form with an accept etc selection. In other words you don't have to invoke the KOrganizer part at all, kmail in itself has problems
Created attachment 18913 [details] strace of link/unlink sequence
Just did a strace of the sequence for that file and it seems you are right: The file is unlinked before korganizer get hold of it. I attach the strace, it might show you something. Is my PATH too long... ;-)
Me again, I tried the test patch for bug 130709 and it did indeed fix the problem (as long as you make the decision on what to do within 120 seconds...). This should really be fixed in a more reliable way though. Do you know if there are any good plans on doing it?
