I have this problem too. I found, that in Debian this problem can be solved simply by installing gnome-icon-theme package (look at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=214448 and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=237228 ), but on Fedora Core 2 this doesn't help :( Also I tried this - http://www.mail-archive.com/evolution@lists.ximian.com/msg07356.html but without luck too :( I get these messages in terminal, when starting evolution from terminal and tried to attach .doc file: bash-2.05b$ evolution (evolution:7792): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: g_object_set_valist: construct property "type" for object `ESplash' can't be set after construction (evolution:7792): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: file gdk-pixbuf-io.c: line 761 (gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file): assertion `filename != NULL' failed (evolution:7792): GnomeUI-CRITICAL **: file gnome-icon-list.c: line 1219 (gnome_icon_list_append_pixbuf): assertion `im != NULL' failed It seems I found where is the problem. redhat-artwork package contains buggy BlueCurve theme - when I remove /usr/share/icons/Bluecurve folder and set gnome theme to simple Evolution shows attachments. Btw, I think severity of this bug should be Normal, becausi it's a bug that should be fixed eventually and isn't minor loss of function. this happens to stock .wav files as well. I experienced this bug too while adding a .zip file to an e-mail. I experienced this bug too. A work-around is to run the gnome-theme-manager and choose another theme but the Fedora Bluecurve. I think this is an really annoying bug, because it hardens the writing of emails with attachment. One can never be sure if the attachment has been attached or not. I'm also seeing this bug in FC2, but it does not occur on my laptop running FC1. I checked the Ximian bugzilla, and it appears to be a problem not exclusive to FC. Look here: http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=48504 and here: http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=48492 . Of course, both are marked as resolved! Another note, if I login using Gnome as my desktop, I don't have the problem, if I login using KDE, I have the problem. My FC2 is updated EXCEPT for libgnome and libbonobo. I had the problem even after updating libbonobo, and rolled back to stock to see what would happen. Another tiwst: If you add an attachment that doesn't show and then add another attachment that does show, then right clicking on attachment 2 [details]'s icon (the only one visible) brings up the properties for the invisible attachment 1 [details]. So you end up deleting or whatever an invisible attachment. This is a real pain in the arse and a real usability problem. Is this a bug with themes and mime types or with evolution? Yeah, I think this should be at least a normal severity, like the guy in comment 2 above. For what it's worth, this bug is still present with the recently-released redhat-artwork-0.96-2 installed. Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Closing per lack of response. Also note that FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4, please assign to that version and Fedora Legacy. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040518 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: When composing email, if I choose the "view attachments" option and drag a MS Office file into the attachments pane, it does not display. The attachement does get sent to the recipient; it simply does not display an icon in the composer window. A quick check suggests that other file types display just fine -- I only had problems with word and powerpoint files. Hmmm.... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Gnome evolution 1.4.6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In evo, create new email 2. Select "view attachments" from menu 3. Drag an MS Office document onto the attachments pane Actual Results: No icon Expected Results: An icon Additional info:
