Detach in Linux

andromaque

Hi there !

First thing first, I really appreciate the work you guys are doing with this add-on, it's reaaally useful, thank you very much.

I'm currently running:

Thunderbird 68.9.0
Oracle Linux 7.8 (which is binary/source compatible to RHEL 7.8)
AttachmentExtractor Continued: 2.0.6

I might be confused but I'm not able to "detach" attachment using the tool.

AEC can save
AEC can delete
AEC can combine save & delete
but I'm unable to detach (saving the attachment and saving the link inside the email)

Am I missing something ?

Thank you !

As an improvement to the program, Thunderbird 68 can now save the link to detached attachments. Unfortunately, this function was programmed in Thunderbird in such a way that you cannot access this function (even with the add-on) when saving / detaching multiple attachments. It would have been possible to change only a few lines of code in Thunderbird, which I had asked the programmers to do. This was not done.

In order to program this in the add-on itself, a great effort would have been necessary, which unfortunately no longer pays off. The add-on is "dead" with Thunderbird 78 because it no longer offers the APIs. Sorry

Regards
