GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 263314
Composer Not Accepting Copy And Paste With Links
Last modified: 2012-02-13 14:52:32 UTC
If you copy and paste from Mozilla/Firefox into Evolution graphics that were on the original source page only show up in the composer panel after the message has been sent. (attaching shots) Shot one shows a copy and paste from Firefox into the composer. Note the broken link symbols. BUT, it's clear that the information is there and it should work because... Shot two shows a copy of the same message after it's been emailed. Open it up and Evo correctly displays those graphics in the body of the message...perfectly. Something is broken in Evo during compose time to load graphics off the Internet. Almost like it's not looking at your settings. If you have "Load Graphics From Net" enabled, it should work during compose too.
Created attachment 44094 [details] Copy and Paste from Firefox, note broken links for graphics.
Created attachment 44095 [details] Once mailed, composer correctly displays links
This is composer problem => moving to mailer bugs. It can be fixed in evolution/composer/listener.c:impl_event (...) in url_requested part. It should probably respect the image loading settings in the mailer. Dunno if we need that fixed for 2.0 as it's not regression AFAIK.
We are working on finding areas that users are saying "On Windows I can do that...." and copy and paste is one of them. This would add some polish to Evolution that would be appreciated by our users. Currently, the users believe that copy-and-paste has failed because of the broken links in the composer.
Reassigning to Radek and resetting milestone to 1.5 as jpr did.
i'm not sure we should be downloading these images in the composer - it isn't a web browser. it adds a lot of complication to the composer anyway, kind of late at this stage for 2.0.
Not sure it should respect the mailer settings exactly, it could probably put the image temporarily on disk if neccessary.
retargetting to 2.1
if it was to be implemented it should definitely respect mailer settings, at least the 'never load images' one.
retargetting from 2.1 to 2.3 to get rid of all that recent milestones...
anyway, retargetting
reassigning since rodo does not work anymore on evo/gtkhtml
removing old target milestone.
Might make sense to retest with webkit git branch.
Works fine in 3.2.3 when using Copy&Paste. Dup of bug 203949. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 203949 ***
