707422 - Composition: With multiple attachments selected, "Open" command from context menu should be enabled

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, enhancement)

Description

[Thomas D. (:thomas8)]

STR

1) Compose msg with more than 1 attachment
2 [review]) Select more than 1 attachment
3 [review]) Right-click on selection
4) from context menu, want to "Open" selected attachments (sequentially)

Actual result:

With multiple attachments selected:
- "Remove Attachments" is enabled (ok)
- "Open" is disabled (this bug)

Expected result:

With multiple attachments selected:
Just like "Remove Attachments" is enabled,
- "Open" should be enabled
- use case is the same as for opening a single attachment from composition (double-check content, edit before sending etc.)

Technically, if we can open *one*, we can also open several attachments sequentially, which usually does not require any user interaction.
Probably just a matter of adding a loop to the respective open command, if it's not already there.

Jim, what do you think?

N.B. "Rename" should also be enabled, but it's a bit more tricky to get the UI and behaviour right, so I'll address that in a separate bug.
