Gwenview Share to mail does not work

Hi,
I have installed the latest version of Aurora which is working fine.
However, when I use gwenview for picture and want to use the “Share” / “email” function it sends an error saying that there is no email client set up. Thunderbird is intalled and set as the default client.

What could be the problem ?

Gwenview relies on KDE’s xdg-emai, try:

xdg-mime default thunderbird.desktop x-scheme-handler/mailto

Checked here, and of course, the same problem appears here.

Running your command gives an error:

/usr/bin/xdg-mime: line 885: qtpaths: command not found

I assume that the package qt5-tools must be installed. Perhaps it should be added to Aurora.

yes xdg-utils is missing. And it does not install with brew

Any help is welcome. Thanks

you can do it with distrobox and then export to host. But this is more easy:

Edit ~/.config/mimeapps.list and add:

[Default Applications]

x-scheme-handler/mailto=org.mozilla.Thunderbird.desktop
message/rfc822=org.mozilla.Thunderbird.desktop

If that doesn’t work, you can find the exact desktop file name with:

ls /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/ | grep -i thunder

Or check your user Flatpak apps:

ls ~/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share/applications/ | grep -i thunder

This will show you the exact .desktop file name to use.

please report as a bug. Since qt6-qttools (or 5) is a fundamental desktop integration package, this appears to be something that should be included in Aurora by default

I filed an issue, this seems to be flatpak specific
