I think the E-Mail Feature needs an overall rewrite. The plugin should use xdg-email [1] and not sendmail, see the quote from Svens mail at the end from this mail[2]. Then the UI don't need any of the fields, that are at the moment in the dialog. This informations can be better entered in the E-Mail program. What is needed are options to scale and rotate the image and perhaps to change the file format. Then it would be important to see the file size, because a lot of mail provider have a limit. So my suggestion is to first port the plugin to xdg-email with an very basic UI and then start to improve it.

That would make it somewhat useful again. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
