Version: SVN (using KDE KDE 3.5.6) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux This is a followup to Bug #140477, which is marked as resolved. I posted there also. Two comments to new renaming ability of the "Emailing Images": 1) I think that the user should be able to turn this renaming on or off. There are times where I might not want to send the comments and would rather just have original file names. For example, some of my comments are rather long and I'd rather have simple filenames or as in cases below. I think this should be accomplished with a checkbox in the dialog. 2) The kmail send fails with an error when comments have certain characters. For example, I get an an error box when a "?" is in the comment. I am new to this mailing list - please let me know if I'm doing this wrong by creating a new bug for this. Thanks for a great program.

Thanks for a great program. Hi Geoff, even if I believe Michael will take care about it, should be better to add two bug reports in a future. The reason is they are two different problems, the first is a wish, if I've understood correctly, and should be marked as. The latter sounds like a bug to me, but in any case they should have different kind of implementation and leave them together could make hard to follow which bug we're fixing and which not yet. TIA, Angelo
Understood - Next time if have long or multiple reports like this I will split them up. On 10 Jun 2007 21:16:19 -0000, Angelo Naselli <anaselli@linux.it> wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
hi, 1) i agree with a checkbox! 2) what else characters are to be excluded? i already thought about that and i change all disallowed to _. But i forgot the ?. Are there more left? I think i can do it tomorrow in the evening. Angelo, please do not release a new version until it is fixed! Michael
Hi Michael, I can't find any more characters that cause the same error message as the ?. However, I did find one more instance where double quotes " cause problems. I suggest that the " also be disallowed or changed to single quotes ' since those don't seem to cause problems. It appears that when there are quotes such as "word" in a comment the new name gets truncated at the first " as a kmail attachment. The tmp files appear to get created properly in the tmp directory, but kmail truncates them when attaching. There is no error box and they are attached to the email. When there are multiple files, each is attached with the same name because the new version number is truncated also. (Let me know if you want this reported as a separate bug). Geoff
i added a checkbox, so that the user can decide if he wants the name substitution or not. Furthermore, i fixed the question and quotation mark problems, by simply eliminating the symbol.
Sweet - It all is working great. Thanks.
This problem is not reproducible with new Send By Mail tool from digiKam core version 5.7.0. Gilles Caulier
