[Gimp-developer] Send by E-mail Feature
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi. My name is Christopher and I'm one of your new bugzilla reporters and aspiring developers. One of the small bugs I have been working on is #589674. (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=589674) The is more coding that needs to be done, and I am willing to work on a patch, but I thought it would be a good idea to get some more input for you developers about what kind of solution you would prefer. I don't want to repeat everything we wrote in the comments, but the issue is regarding the Send by E-mail feature and how the default form field values are handled. - -- http://indicium.us http://theologia.indicium.us I sign /all/ my e-mail messages via PGP.

I think the E-Mail Feature needs an overall rewrite. The plugin should use xdg-email [1] and not sendmail, see the quote from Svens mail at the end from this mail[2]. Then the UI don't need any of the fields, that are at the moment in the dialog. This informations can be better entered in the E-Mail program. What is needed are options to scale and rotate the image and perhaps to change the file format. Then it would be important to see the file size, because a lot of mail provider have a limit. So my suggestion is to first port the plugin to xdg-email with an very basic UI and then start to improve it.

Well, instead of doing that, someone could port the plug-in to use 'xdg-email'.
