Email PDF to Thunderbird /Linux no workign

[Shawn Edwards]

NAPS2 will open Thunderbird but can not attached the pdf. Error message:
The file /home/shawn/.config/naps2/temp/o51vh043.kbg/Scan.pdf does not exist so could not be attached to the message.

I've tried adding in the folder, however it randomizes the o51vh043.kbg part. So once I add the folder it wants a different folder.

This is on Linux mint.
Thanks - Shawn

I get the email into a Thunderbird client where I can edit the email the
file is attached to and send it.
so that part works for me here but when I came to exit NAPS I noticed I
still had the
dialogue and it would only go when I killed the NAPS2 processes
(presumably one for main and one for dialogue for export) .

to be fair I had to set up the email settings as it's not something that
I have previously used I left all settings at "default"

I'm on:

Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 64-bit
7.0.0-29-generic
Nemo 6.6.3
&
153.1.0esr (64-bit)
Thunderbird codename Meadow
Thunderbird for Linux Mintmint-001 - 1.0

Hope that helps.

Rick.

I'm on
153.1.0esr (64-bit)
Thunderbird codename Meadow
Thunderbird for Linux Mintmint-001 - 1.0 (as well)

Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon 64bit

Nemo 6.6.3+zena

So very similar systems. on mine it seems to want to use kbg compression? create a random xxxx.kbg/scanpdf Where xxxx is a random string. But it can't so doesn't create it so doesn't exist.

At least that is my limited understanding.

Maybe I'm missing a dependency?
