This is different to the old bug. Prior to the recent change to xdg- email, simple scan "send by email" was working fine.
I think that the problem is because xdg-email assembles command line arguments such as -attach to form a mailto: URL and passes that to run_thunderbird, which recently got changed to drop the attachment field from the mailto: url (I think on the assumption that the mailto: url could only come from a browser click). The proper fix would probably be to break any command line mailto: URL down into component parts and drop any "attach" argument before reassembling as today, and reinstate the code removed in the recent change. In the above simple-scan bug report I added a patch which just reinstated the original code but only if the caller is not Chrome/Chromium as those are the only browsers in question in my environment (Firefox appears to call Thunderbird directly). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xdg-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1909941 Title: xdg-email changes break simple-scan email functionality Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Observed on 16.04 to 20.04 xdg-email no longer actions "-attach filename" arguments when running thunderbird following recent security fixes to protect against malicious use from browser ( https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2020-27748 and https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2020-27748 ) This breaks simple-scan "send by email" functionality and other applications too. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/simple-scan/-/issues/216 https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=208&t=336053 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-utils/-/merge_requests/28 (see comments) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-utils/+bug/1909941/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
