Compose with Thunderbird Flatpak edition
Dolphin Service Menus dolphin dolphin-service-menu krusader thunderbird
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work):
Description:
This service menu is the exact clone of the "Compose with Thunderbird" service menu,
but specifically thought for those using the Flatpak system.
It composes a new email using the selected files as attachments and Thunderbird as
an email client.
It also allows to cache files from different folders and composing all of them later.
For those using Flatpak, an identical addon dedicated to that system is available.
In the last version
===================
- Added French, German, Italian, and Spanish localizations;
- Added the action to show and edit the cache file;
- Added the action to remove invalid cached items;
- Added support for Plasma 6 in the installer script.
Features
========
- Fully translated into 4 languages besides English
(French, German, Italian, Spanish);
- Works from within the Dolphin, Konqueror, Krusader, and KFind-results context menu;
- Support for KDE Plasma 6;
- Compose a new email attaching all the selected files in the folder;
- Store the selected files in a cache file;
- Compose a new email attaching all the cached files;
- Compose a new email attaching the selected file with the cached file;
- Open the cache file in the default editor (use the KSM_CWT_EDITOR variable to configure a custom one);
- Remove invalid files from the cache;
- Clean up the cache file.
Requirements
============
- KDE 4 or superior;
- KDialog;

Install
=======
The recommended method to install this service menu is through *Dolphin*:
- From Settings > Context Menu > Download new services;
- Search for "compose_with_thunderbird";
- Click on the *Install* button and select the localized archive of your choice.
That way the latest stable version is installed, updated, and easily removed from the same interface.
Also, the *Discover* application can install it, but doesn't allow to select a localized version:
- Under Application Addons > Servicemenu;
- Search for: "compose_with_thunderbird";
- Click on the *Install* button.
For debugging purposes follow one of the other methods mentioned on the project page:
