Bug ID: 420513
Summary: kde-open5 ignores default configured mail client
Product: kde-cli-tools
Version: 5.18.4
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
Reporter: hi-an...@yandex.ru
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I noted that opening mailto links in browsers results in kmail trying to get
launched (which ATM is not even installed). That is despite Thunderbird being
configured as default mail client in systemsettings5.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open `systemsettings5`
2. Go to `Aplications → Default Aplications → Email Client`, set checkbox "Use
a different email client", and write as the client `thunderbird`. Click `Apply`
in the bottom-right corner.
3. Run in terminal `kde-open5 mailto:`
OBSERVED RESULT
It tries opening kmail.
EXPECTED RESULT
It tries opening thunderbird.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Archlinux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.69.0
Qt Version: 5.14.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
To fix that so far I tried (and nothing worked):
1. Setting in `systemsettings5` thunderbird both by choosing with mouse and by
typing manually (the difference is that I type `thunderbird`, whereas choosing
with mouse results in `thun`)
2. Renaming `kmailservice` binary
3. Doing `strace -e open,openat kde-open5 mailto: 2>&1 | perl -lane 'print
/".+?"/g if /home/ and not /No such file/'` and then grepping over all those
files case-insensitive "mail" and "bird". That only gave a match in some of
"recent files", nothing useful.
4. Repeating the 3rd point with `kmailservice` which `kde-open5` tries running.
No result.
