[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 298814] Re: F-Spot: 'Send by Mail' creates email but fails to attach image in Mozilla Thunderbird

[swulf]

More info:

a) Changing from a 'Custom' setting (pointing to Thunderbird) under
Preferred Applications allowed me to send an email message with a single
attached image,

b) Attaching multiple images (19 in total) failed with the message: 'Sending of message failed.
Unable to open the temporary file /tmp/tmp9264968.tmp/P1070377.JPG. Check your 'Temporary Directory' setting.'

So it sort-of works, but not well enough. *sigh*

Bug description:
The 'Send by Mail' feature of F-Spot (f-spot 0.5.0.3) under Ubuntu 8.10 running on a Dell Dimension 4600 does not perform as expected. I am using Mozilla Thunderbird (version 2.0.0.17 (20080925)) as my default email client.

Example:

a) Select a photo in F-Spot (highlight it with a left-click),
b) From the Photo menu, select 'Send by Mail',
c) Leave the defaults as set (Size: Medium),
d) Hit 'Create Mail' button,
e) F-Spot shows an 'exporting' dialog for a short while,
f) Thunderbird opens a new Compose window with the title 'my+photos', but there is no attachment.
