Shotwell "Send To Email" doesn't attach multiple photos

Hi Alex,

I am not able to reproduce this issue. How large are the individual images you are trying to send? What is their format? If I understand, you are able to send them if you pack them in a zip file. Is that correct?

Hi Laura, the files are jpg, around 800kb in size. If I pack them in zip the issue persists. The only workaround is to transform them at the Send To dialog by scaling them. I can't reproduce it on a different machine. Could this be a file permission issue? I am sharing my database and photos with a different user and so the ownership of the photos and the shotwell database is:

-rw-r--r-- 1 alex otheruser 7974912 May 22 17:35 .shotwell/data/photo.db

instead of the default:

-rw-r--r-- 1 alex alex 7974912 May 22 17:35 .shotwell/data/photo.db

I can't reproduce this on my other computer where I have just one user setup.

This is a definately shotwell bug. I have verified with the test script below. Simply selecting multiple photos will only result in one photo being mailed. To get around the bug, the only known workaround is to transform them at the SendTo dialog by scaling them. If they are already too small to scale, the bug will remain, thus scaling will have to occur to workaround the bug.

----------TEST-SCRIPT-----------
#!/bin/sh
# replace nautilus-sendto with the test script. nautilus-sendto is
# found in your executable path. Remember to save the original
# nautilus-sendto for restoration after tests.

LOGFILE=/tmp/nautilus-sendtolog.txt

Also reported upstream at

http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/5827

This has been fixed upstream (see http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/5822). Shotwell versions 0.13.1 and later no longer exhibit this problem.

Changing back to "In progress" since the SRU is waiting in the queue and the team reviewing set to "fix commited" only once uploads are accepted

This bug was fixed in the package shotwell - 0.13.1-0ubuntu2

---------------
shotwell (0.13.1-0ubuntu2) raring; urgency=low

  * Upload to raring

shotwell (0.13.1-0ubuntu1) quantal-proposed; urgency=low

  * New upstream version:
    - "does not check response from fb assumes it is html/xml" (lp: #1050793)
    - Fixes an issue where Shotwell would not include all selected photos
      during a Nautilus "Send To..." export operation (lp: #1002537)
    - Shotwell now properly inhibits the system screensaver when playing a
      slideshow (lp: #1034412)
  * debian/patches/06_uoa.patch: new version update
  * debian/patches/dont_set_hardcoded_libexec.patch: revert upstream change,
    changing the directory this way in a SRU is wrong
