LO does show a message box, if either the command is not available (popen fails), or the command returns an exit code != 0. But many programs would block LO execution (see the attached patch), so these run in the background and therefore don't report an exit code to LO. A better solution would be to start a thread to run senddoc (and a nested event loop or async result reporting), so the attached patch can be applied and LO wouldn't block. None of it is KDE specific, except for the original thunderbird.desktop NOB problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
