Bug ID: 465713
Summary: Allow zooming and/or "Open with" of in-place image
attachments in HTML message viewer
Classification: Applications
Product: kmail2
Version: 5.22.2
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
Hello,
Image attachments with in-place display disposition don't turn up in the
attachment lists, in neither the plain text viewer nor the HTML message viewer.
The plain text viewer doesn't show the image, of course, so I resort to the
HTML viewer to see images when I receive messages like this.
The HTML message viewer tends to scale such images so that they don't exceed
some (rather narrow, IMO) predetermined width. If someone sends me a
screenshot, for example, it is almost always shrunk to the point of being
illegible. Regular (non-in-place) attachments would have the option to open in
Gwenview or something else, which would be fine. But without the regular
attachments list, the only option I have is the right-click context menu. From
there, the best option I have is "Copy image location", which I can use to
manually paste into Gwenview's "Open" dialog.
Why no "Open image"/"Open image with", or similar? I think that would be much
more intuitive from a user perspective.
Of course, this comes up because the HTML message viewer shrinks in-place
images with no way for the user to adjust or "take a closer look", so that
functionality would also be useful.
Best,
Brendon
