Hi everyone!
I love Thunderbird and I’m really happy with it.
It’s the flatpak version and, sadly, it doesn’t allow me to open attachments. When I click on the file, it brings me to a screen where it proposes to use the system handler to open the file and then nothing happens.
Apparently, this is a common issue related to flatpak and its permissions, so I tried to circumvent it by trying to open documents inside Thunderbird (as I remember Thunderbird being able to open PDFs) but it didn’t work as it’s only telling me that Firefox is already running.
Does anyone know a workaround as for now it forces me to save documents before being able to open them?
So what is the issue? If you want to save PDFs they are not saved? And this is the same when clicking on unsupported documents?
Go to the about:config, its at the bottom of the first settings page.
Enable portals for files and maybe apps.
The issue is that I always have to download a document and open Only Office myself instead of just clicking on the attachment and having Only Office opening itself.
Ain’t the end of the world, but it’s annoying.
Hm, what happens if you try to open Onlyoffice with that.
Yes, portals on Linux are in very early stages, like there is no share portal which is pretty horrible compared to Android.
But the TB download will be in its internal storage which the OnlyOffice Flatpak cannot access. So a portal is needed, have a look at the advanced settings, as said, first settings page at the bottom.
Search for portal.
