1738929 - [KDE] Save as file multiple emails is blocked on folder picker

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Daniele "Mte90" Scasciafratte]

I am on linux using the thunderbird 94.0b5 from mozilla.
I want to export in various files some email in spam for further analysis.
So I select all of them with right click trying Save as, pick the folder, on Open the picker move inside the folder and stay on that window. It is doing the same also from File->Save As.
I guess because I am using XDG_Portal (I don't remember ,the variable to use the native file picker).

Executing thunderbird from console I have this but I don't think it is correlate:

IPDL protocol error: Handler returned error code!

###!!! [Parent][DispatchAsyncMessage] Error: PClientManager::Msg_ExpectFutureClientSource Processing error: message was deserialized, but the handler returned false (indicating failure)

Are you using KDE? I think that the issue is with the integration...

No, the standard gnome desktop.

So with the latest beta and the latest KDE is still happening.
Running with:

GTK_USE_PORTAL=0 thunderbird

Disable the KDE file picker and use the one of GTK.

I tried also setting in thunderbird widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal to true but doens't worked.
I am using the thunderbird beta and I am trying to save as files varioues email but the file picker as the screenshot after picking the folder is still waiting to open a new one and so on. After picking the folder should close and thunderbird should export those emails.

Seems a bug in KDE https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449289 that will be fixed in 5.24.

Latest KDE update fix the issue.

Thanks for the update. (Invalid since it wasn't a bug in thunderbird code)
