Custom partition scheme: places in Dolphin don't appear in Upload box

[Feathers McGraw]

Something I noticed just now: Thunderbird also opens the GTK+ file picker when selecting an attachment!

So the uploader is Flash. Interesting. Using Chromium's element inspector, I can see that, indeed, the button will call a Flash method. Flash is written in Gtk+. So perhaps this is the issue -- Flash doesn't know how to use KDialog.

Would you please check what I asked about in post #12?

Thunderbird uses much of the same code base as Firefox, as both are written in XUL with some Gtk+. Without the extra Blue Shell integration work, Firefox uses Gtk+. The Blue Shell PPA for Firefox adds KDE integration. Blue Shell would need to do similar integration work for Thunderbird to get it to use KDialog.

Sorry, I missed that one.

I've tried using Firefox, but it never really does it for me - it seems a little bit clunky and displays things like the Outlook Web App (for work) in a really strange way. Maybe I should try it again with the Blue Shell PPA.

Looks fine. I really think the problem you're encountering is that Flash only knows how to use the Gtk+ file picker.

OWA is checking for certain things in the browser user agent string. One problem with using Chromium is that OWA intentionally forces the old UI that doesn't do message threading or pop-up message composer windows. You can trick this, though.

Install the user-agent switcher for Chrome extension. Then go to your OWA URL. Now click the little page-with-glasses icon next to the URL bar:



Change the user-agent to Firefox | Windows Firefox 15. Voila, new UI.

I think we've misunderstood each other here: I like the chromium way of doing things, and think the Firefox way is ugly and clunky. I don't want to make chromium look like Firefox!

[SteveRiley]

That's not the Chromium way... it's the old OWA light version. It's icky, I think! LOL

Even worse in Firefox, though!

Point of disagreement #2. I don't like the way this is heading, Sam! BWAHAHAHAA

[Feathers McGraw]

Call me Anakin? Hehe

[SteveRiley]

Sure.

Please don't let that image spread...I have a reputation to protect, you know!

[SteveRiley]

Take a look at any of your posts. It's already spread, dude

[Feathers McGraw]

That's just cruel.

Like a stack of dimes, hmm?
