Bug ID: 422065
Summary: There is no way to use gmail web interface as default
email client and "mailto:"; link are not handled
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: 5.69.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
I don't have kmail or any other email application installed. I use gmail web
interface and I like to use email this way.
Unfortunately plasma settings do not have an option to setup gmail as a default
email application.
and kde5-open ignores the settings at all for "mailto:"; links.
So basically there is no way to click a "mailto:"; link in some 3rdparty
application and make my default browser load gmail web interface.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a clickable "mailto:"; in any application which will likely use xdg-open
2. Click on it
OBSERVED RESULT
kio complains something about not found file for the mailto: link.
Being started from the terminal it also shows something about google-chrome
even so I have Firefox as the default browser.
Nothing but the error dialog is opened as result.
EXPECTED RESULT
plasma default application settings have "GMail Web" option together with
kmail.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Gentoo Linux
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.69.0
Qt Version: 5.14.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I tried to clean up google-chrome where I could find it as a mailto handler. It
changed nothing. I didn't try to re-login though or regenerate any caches. Just
manual edits.
This task it probably has to be splitted into two. Like fix kio and implement
ui.
