Attachments
(3 files, 1 obsolete file)
After pressing Attach File you're presented with the standard window Open File (Attach File) dialog. In this dialog it's only possible to attach one file at a time. In 4.x you could attach many files at a time saving a lot of time if you're gonna attach fx 10 files.... Build 2000061820
I think this is a dup of an enhancement bug we may have.

Would support for drag/drop multiple files to the compose window's attachment area fall under this bug?
Comment 15•24 years ago

Lisa, we should have another bug for that though some of that bug might get fixed with this bug. For this bug we need to make it so that we can get multiple files from the attachment dialog.

I don't see this as an enhancement. This is standard OS behavior. If I'm wrong, please re-adjust.

Comment 51•23 years ago

How can something so basic be marked off until the far future? I mean, maybe not for 0.99, but this should definetly be there by 1.0. I don't care for version numbers, but the fact is that 1.0 will be looked, and used, by a lot of people, just because it is the "real" release. Maybe this bug should be discussed again in the next meeting... Oh and I know 1.2 is not really far away, but it keeps getting pushed back all the time!

Comment 52•23 years ago

I think the reason is that the enginners are FLOODED with bugs. And with this bug you work can actually be done (by attaching one file at a time). So this bug does not hinder your work other than making your life a bit harder...
Comment 53•23 years ago

Whip up a patch for the blocking bug and this one will be trivial. You can't fix this one before bug 121122 is fixed.

> Oh and I know 1.2 is not really far away, but it keeps getting pushed back all > the time! Don't mean to fuel the flame, but in accordance with the regularity of the current roadmap (http://www.mozilla.org/roadmap.html), version 1.2 won't be released till around September 25th. I would consider this pretty darn far away.

mscott: how about this: look at thread pane: you can shift- / ctrl, drag click multiple number of posts/emails you wanna delete/copy or move. This seems to work by using an arrayed or linked list index. Now could filepicker use such an dynamic linked list to go retrieve each and then drag & drop them as if the user had these drag & drop steps manually? Seems like it would work in theory.
Comment 59•23 years ago

Dennis, this bug cannot be fixed, until the bug it is depending on (bug 121122) is fixed. That bug is pp (you will need to implement it for every major platform)... Anyway, if you want to discuss a solution, you should do so there.

Well, maybe it's the time to increase the priority of bug #121122, because currently it is considered "enhancement" and targeted to "future", which given the number of dups and votes here seems somewhat strange.

supplimental patch is needed. wcyeh@zydas.com.tw writes: "In normal cases, it works just fine. However, when I attach files from a folder with its using number, the files are inccorectly attached. For example, Path: c:\xxx\yyy\1234 Files: files1.txt, files2.txt The files name shown in the attachment panel will look like this 1234files1.txt 1234files2.txt and the mozilla will refuse to send this e-mail. When these files are selected one by one or are selected from a folder not using a name starting by a number, your patch will work just fine. My configuration: OS: win2k with SP3, and built 2002090804." wcyeh@zydas.com.tw is right. supplimental patch that fixes this problem coming up.

This bug is marked as resolved fixed, but it doesn't work for me in build ID 2002121008. I can ctrl-select or shift-select multiple files, but what appears in the attachment window is a folder icon. This is in fact a list of all the files in the folder from which I selected files to attach. I can provide screenshots if this is unclear.

Comment 92•22 years ago

The attachment in comment 91 appears to be corrupt. Here's the message when clicking on the link: The image “http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=109017&action=view” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors. Ian, are you running Windows 9x? This (or something very similar) has been discussed in the NGs (probably n.p.m.mail-news). It's a Win 9x thing that doesn't affect NT-class Windows, i.e. Windows is doing it, not Moz.

I found this in build 1.3a as well. It will let you add multiple attachments if you do it one at a time, but when I tried to select two attachments to add to an e-mail, the folder that the files were in was displayed.

Comment 97•22 years ago

WinXP build 20030202 (mozilla 1.3b) & Win98 this is fixed. Multiple select of message paste them into the attachment area with correct file name. Also, I don't see the problem mentioned in comment 90, I see individual files not a folder. Linux build 20030211 (mozilla 1.3b) & Maco OSX build 20030206 (mozilla 1.3b) still a problem but as pointed out in comment 82 this bug can't be tested and verified until bug 167152 is fixed. This will remain not verified until the linux & mac blocker bugs are fixed. Changing OS to linux and adding to summary.
