Re: [gentoo-user] File extensions in Kmail attachments
On 5/31/07, Mick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I noticed that when I open an attachment from within Kmail it adds odd extensions to the file, which are retained when I later on try to save it on the disk; e.g. a spreadsheet opened with OOo is shown as: Notes from yesterdays mtg.xls_[yQHODa]. Furthermore, when I click on SaveAs in OOo it automatically opens the directory /tmp/kde-michael/ as opposed to /home/michael. Would you perhaps know how I could fix this? I think, you cat fix this only via patching sources.
