nautilus-sendto doesn't provides thunderbird entry, mail agent still remains Evolution
Last modified: 2009-04-27 09:23:44 EDT
Description of problem: When defining Thunderbird as the default mail agent (from the gnome control center), nautilus-sendto doesn't provides a thunderbird entry in the menu. It still remains to Evolution as the mail agent. Switching back to evolution then back to thunderbird doesn't work either. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-sendto-1.1.4.1-1.fc11.i586 nautilus-2.26.2-2.fc11.i586 evolution-2.26.1-2.fc11.i586 thunderbird-3.0-2.1.beta2.fc11.i586 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install thunderbird and nautilus-sendto 2. Open a nautilus window 3. Right click on a file, select "Send to" item Actual results: No "thunderbird" item is displayed in the menu. An Evolution item is still available. Expected results: Evolution item is replaced by thunderbird item. Additional info:
From the command line, nautilus-sendto launched twice : [axel@axel-asus ~]$ nautilus-sendto ~/foo Init removable-devices plugin Init empathy plugin ** (nautilus-sendto:2611): DEBUG: check_for_accounts: No enabled accounts Init pidgin plugin Init evolution plugin Init nautilus burn plugin [axel@axel-asus ~]$ nautilus-sendto ~/foo Init removable-devices plugin Init empathy plugin ** (nautilus-sendto:2617): DEBUG: check_for_accounts: No enabled accounts Init pidgin plugin Init evolution plugin Init nautilus burn plugin
2 imap accounts are set up in thunderbird.

I first thought as a mis-defined preference, so I tried to set it again to thunderbird. The entry just remains as "Mail (Evolution)". Using this entry opens evolution.
What's the output of: cat ~/.local/share/applications/preferred-mail-reader.desktop and gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/command
[axel@axel-asus ~]$ cat ~/.local/share/applications/preferred-mail-reader.desktop [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Thunderbird Email GenericName=Email Comment=Send and Receive Email Exec=thunderbird Icon=thunderbird Terminal=false Type=Application StartupWMClass=Thunderbird-bin X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.15 Categories=Email;Network; X-Panel-Monitor=true NoDisplay=true [axel@axel-asus ~]$ gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/command thunderbird %s
I don't know if it's related, but I first used evolution, then I switched to thunderbird. Evolution mail accounts have been deleted though.
It works fine here: $ nautilus-sendto Makefile Init nautilus burn plugin Init removable-devices plugin Init evolution plugin Init pidgin plugin ** Message: Mailer type: 4 ** Message: Command: thunderbird -compose to="Sébastien Aime <saime@redhat.com>",attachment='file:///home/hadess/Projects/Cvs/nautilus-sendto/src/Makefile' What's the full output of nautilus-sendto when you reproduce the problem? Or are you still under the impression that the "Evolution" entry won't open Thunderbird?
[axel@axel-asus ~]$ nautilus-sendto ~/foo Init removable-devices plugin Init empathy plugin ** (nautilus-sendto:4066): DEBUG: check_for_accounts: No enabled accounts Init pidgin plugin Init evolution plugin Init nautilus burn plugin ** Message: Mailer type: 4 ** Message: Command: thunderbird -compose to="axel.azerty@laposte.net",attachment='file:///home/axel/foo' Indeed, a thunderbird mail composing window is opened. The last time I launched it, evolution started (the evolution first run wizard in fact, since no accounts where defined) I feel a bit like someone who reports a bug which isn't one :( Anyway the label of the entry menu is "Mail (Evolution)". Really sorry for the time loss.
I've removed the "(Evolution)" bit of the string in the upstream plugin. It will be in the next release of nautilus-sendto, and make it into rawhide shortly. This should clear the confusion...
