Claus DIETRICH reported a new bug.

Summary
-------

IDE: Projects cannot be "sent bei Email" any longer

Type             : Bug
Priority         : Medium
Gambas version   : 3.19
Product          : Development Environment


Description
-----------

As a team member of the Gambas-Buch we are frequently exchanging demo apps as source code. This used to be a piece of cake with the IDE (main menu: Tools/Send project by email ...). This valuable function is now dead at Linux Mint Cinnamon and Linux Mint Mate. It seems that it has to do with bug 2803 (portal).

When I add the new property Desktop.UsePortal = False in the Gambas3-IDE-source code, it works:

Public Sub SendMail()

  Dim sTemp As String = Temp$()

  sTemp = File.SetName(sTemp, GetDefaultArchiveBaseName()) & ".tar.gz"
  Try Kill sTemp
  MakeSourcePackageTo(sTemp)
  Desktop.UsePortal = False
  Try Desktop.SendMail(Null,,, If(Project.Title, Project.Title, Project.Name),, sTemp)
  If Error Then FMain.ShowErrorWith(("Unable to send project by mail."))

End

Only for information:

The following is a working adapted solution out of one of my apps which turned out to work with many distros (tested as AppImage):

Public Sub SendMail()

  Dim sTemp As String = Temp$()

  sTemp = File.SetName(sTemp, GetDefaultArchiveBaseName()) & ".tar.gz"
  Try Kill sTemp
  MakeSourcePackageTo(sTemp)
  ' Desktop.UsePortal = False
  ' Try Desktop.SendMail(Null,,, If(Project.Title, Project.Title, Project.Name),, sTemp)
  ' If Error Then FMain.ShowErrorWith(("Unable to send project by mail."))

  If Exist("/usr/bin/thunderbird") Then
     Shell "thunderbird -compose attachment=" & sTemp
  Else 
    Shell "xdg-email --attach " & sTemp
  Endif

End

Hope that you can fix it with a native solution.
Best regards
Claus
