Libreoffice send attachment fails to add attachment to email

Opened this issue · 3 comments

As described, using the send document menu option in LibreOffice with the Thunderbird flatpak will open an email, but fail to actually attach the attachment. I believe this would be the fault of the Thunderbird flatpak as I've used the feature in the past on non flatpak Thunderbird versions with no problem. I'm using the following setup:

  • CentOS 8 Stream
  • LibreOffice 6.4.7.2 (repo install)
  • Thunderbird 91.5.1 (flatpak)

I can reproduce but don't see how to fix this.

[filesystem] Enable All user files by default

Please set filesystem=home to true. This should enable attaching files to emails.

[filesystem] Enable All system files by default

Another option may needs to be set to enable files to be attached from USB sticks. Should All system files be enabled, i.e. please set filesystem=host to true?

What do you think?

Thank you

The problem isn't attaching files to emails (which works) but doing so through libreoffice.
