Description DEMAINE Benoît-Pierre, aka DoubleHP 2008-12-06 02:30:32 UTC
Received an email with several files attached; when I right click, I see in dark grey the first 4 features ("Open" to "Delete"), and in light grey the 6 last ones ("save all" to "decrypt and save as").

I can only save attachments one by one; boring.

I remember that in beginning of november, I received several emails with many files attached. When I open those emails from local archives, the same bug occurs. The bug happens in all folders, local and remote, even on emails where I used to be able to use the "save all" feature.

Seems 2.0.0.18 specific; I will try to downgrade (using ebuild 2.0.0.17 from /var), and -bin for test.

If this is still reproducible with 3.0 please reopen with updated summary.

Ah, this is different in 3.0.3 . "save all" is no more grey. It's been REMOVED from menu !!! There are still a few things in light grey (some GPG features); only "save as", no more "save all" in the contextual menu.

Save all is still available in File > Attachement windows menu. Have always been (and hope it will stay there for a long time ^^ ) But this is offtopic. It just confirms they had not removed the concept of Save-All from TB3. So, I Expect it should be in the contextual menu of the attachements (under the mail body).

Expectation belong upstream, problem is no more specific for gentoo as any other distro. Report the issue upstream if you want to see it added to the context menu under body.

It used to work. This is a regression problem. Are Gentoo softwares regressing ?
