GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 269478
ability to save online images in HTML mails
Last modified: 2012-01-27 17:51:40 UTC
Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you are doing. Description of Problem: I am unable to save images from HTML mail via a right click popup menu. More specifically, it appears that images that are embedded in tables that link to external websites are unable to be saved directly. The images are visible; just unable to be saved via right-click (or any other method that I can see within Evolution.) The popup menu for the in-table images lists 'Open Link in Browser' and 'Copy Link Location' as the only options. For images not embedded in tables the options are 'Save As...', 'Set As Background', 'Open in GIMP Image Editor', and 'Open in Image Viewer.' This was not an issue in version 1.4.6. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Receive email with images embedded in tables that link to external websites 2. Right click on displayed image Actual Results: No option to save the displayed image is displayed in the popup menu. Expected Results: An option to save the displayed image should be displayed in the popup menu. How often does this happen? 100% Additional Information: I can provide a sample troublesome email message upon request.
Seems to work for me.
Created attachment 44395 [details] Sample email message that replicates bug
The attachment I've submitted serves as an example of the bug I'm describing. It was saved using Evolution's standard File->Save as... dialog and can be imported via the File->Import wizard as a single file successfully. Granted, the HTML of the message isn't altogether the cleanest, but saving images from it worked properly for me with 1.4.6 and no longer does in 2.0.2.
this is a new feature request, you can only save images local in the mail.
I fail to see how this is a new feature request, as the functionality described was available in a prior version of Evolution. Since it no longer works in a subsequent version, I classify it as a 'bug.' There is of course the possiblility that some other program was supplying that functionality, but I doubt it. Is it possible that an upgrade to Fedora Core 3 from Fedora Core 2 could be responsible for this behavior?
the feature has never existed, we've only ever saved images that were attached to the email. you are asking to save images that are being loaded from a remote web site.
uhm, renaming since the summary is pretty vague
As I remember there was never a way to save the images directly, but you did used to be able to open them in your browser for saving. Regardless of category, this is a major pain! There's literally no way to get at these images. I get daily comic digests from which I like to archive some strips, and the lack of handling for these images is very annoying - I'm sure many people are in a similar position.
Works correctly in Evolution 3.2.2, options for embedded remote images that are also links are: * Open Link in Browser * Copy Link Location * Copy Image * Save Image... Closing as FIXED.
