Hi!
OpenSuSE 10.2 KDE 3.5.6 kmail 1.9.6 / imap account / open attachments on demand is OFF Openoffice 2.1
If OO is not running it is possilbe to open the attachments. If OO is running (already open) OO complains, that the file does not exists.
IMHO kmail deletes the temporary file before OO can grab it, because it thinks, that OO is already running and does not wait until OO starts up.
So it might be a bug in kmail too but this does not happen opening the same attachment with kword/kspread.
Hi Ferdinand, I think I am experiencing the same problem. I had just written a report (see it below), when I noticed your report about a similar problem. I can only add that initially I had the impression that Quickstarter was involved in all this, plus a check on the location of the attachments. * Summary: Problem opening Kmail/Kontact attachments with OpenOffice.org. * Description: I have a message with two attachments: linee_guida_statuto_28-6.doc statuto_28_6.doc If I try to open the first one, OOo loads it without problems. If I try to open also the second one (OOo still opened on the first attachment), then I get an error message. The same happens if I close OOo, then try to open the *second* attachment first: in this case I can't load the *first* one. If I open either one of the attachments, view it, then close OOo, *then* I can open the other one. I have the OpenOffice.org Quickstarter applet running: closing it does not seem to help, although in the past I noticed that the problem seems to appear more frequently when Quickstarter is running (need to investigate that more in detail). * Further investigations: I have verified the problem with .xls attachments as well (-> OpenOffice.org Calc). In the above example, OpenOffice.org complaints that "/tmp/kde-vincenzo/statuto_28_6.doc_[szAVma].doc" does not exist". That file indeed does not exist. However, I found the two attachements here: vincenzo@phoebe:/home/vincenzo> ls -l /tmp/kde-vincenzo/kontact2pIcfa.5/linee_guida_statuto_28-6.doc -r-------- 1 vincenzo users 68608 2007-07-01 10:46 /tmp/kde-vincenzo/kontact2pIcfa.5/linee_guida_statuto_28-6.doc vincenzo@phoebe:/home/vincenzo> ls -l /tmp/kde-vincenzo/kontactg8nuub.6/statuto_28_6.doc -r-------- 1 vincenzo users 131072 2007-07-01 10:46 /tmp/kde-vincenzo/kontactg8nuub.6/statuto_28_6.doc It appears that the attachment are both there, but OOo does not look in the right place when it's already running. * Notes: May be relevant to this problem? Here are some settings in /etc/sysconfig/cron: MAX_DAYS_IN_TMP="15" MAX_DAYS_IN_LONG_TMP="30" TMP_DIRS_TO_CLEAR="/tmp" LONG_TMP_DIRS_TO_CLEAR="/var/tmp" OWNER_TO_KEEP_IN_TMP="" CLEAR_TMP_DIRS_AT_BOOTUP="no" I doubt so, but I don't have other clues at the moments. * Using: openSUSE 10.2 KDE (kdebase3-3.5.5-102.6 etc.) Kontact (kdepim3-3.5.5-39) OpenOffice.org (OpenOffice_org-2.0.4-38.5 etc.) OpenOffice.org Quickstarter (OpenOffice_org-Quickstarter-1.0-514) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
