Send by e-mail generates error (ctrl-shft-E)

This is a screenshot of the error.

xdg-email accepts file path not URI.

Confirmed this bug still exists on Arch Linux with the latest official package:
community/shutter 0.93.1-3
(extra/xdg-utils 1.1.1-4; xdg-email 1.1.0 rc3)

And also a build of the latest code exhibits the same problem.

I've just proposed Robin Lee's fix for merging onto the main branch.

Andrew Rembrandt: I cannot reproduce this problem on Arch Linux. I included the fix by Robin Lee in the newest revision of Shutter, however, please check if it works now.

Still getting this error with fully-patched ubuntu 16.04, shutter version 0.93.1 rev. 1278

Debian patched something recently, thereby referencing to this issue: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=819149

The patch of comment 2 seems not to be applied to the ubuntu 16.04 package.

By applying it to /usr/bin/shutter, sending E-Mails from shutter now works for me.

I attached the patch I used therefore (which does the same as the patch from comment 2, just for ubuntu 16.04).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

It is not applied to the Ubuntu package, I assume, I only applied it to the Arch Linux package. :)

The attachment "xdg-email accepts file path not URI." seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.

My Ubuntu has the described bug: error 2 on sending e-mail.

Hi Photon/Michael,

Apologies for the delay - have only just returned to using Arch last month. Just tested the email screenshot option (with aur/shutter 0.93.1-11) and it works fine now.

Many thanks for sorting that. Merge into master?

Some people got in contact with Mario, Shutter's developer, to get push access to Shutter's main branch and merge the patches which accumulated so far, see the comments here: https://code.launchpad.net/~systemdisc/shutter/imgur-fix/+merge/313977

Fantastic - thanks for taking over the project - fanastic tool (although I did shy away when I saw the size of some of the source files)

Applied the patch in rev.1282.
