Extract attachment

I did a quick check of the code, and detach attachment looks pretty easy – though I'm not really sure of the side effects. I'll try to add this to my next release.

Thanks, I want to use this along with launch file to run a vb code saved in an excel file.

Let me know how that works!
I don't have a specific ETA. Right now I an trying to work on some issues that need to get into the base TB code before the release of beta 2. I'll probably do the extension updates during the dark time when it is impossible to get core code reviewed and added. So that means that I should get to this in 2-4 weeks.

, phooh! I'm sure glad I got that math problem worked out. 
I love the idea of this extension! I want to trigger a job on my workstation thru this filter. I have however not been able to get the beta version of Thunderbird. I would love to get this working sooner rather than later.
Do you know when either your add-on will work with the current release of Thunderbird, if ever or if I have to wait for Thunderbird 3 or compile the beta, (if I can find it somewhere)?
Thanks in advance,
Geminus
You can get Thunderbird 3.0 beta1, including compiled and localized versions, at http://www.mozillamessaging.co…..nloads.php

Thank you for the url. I downloaded it and tried the filter. The filter works fine, but it opens the script in vim rather than executing it.
What am I doing wrong? I have a script that should execute upon the arrival of a certain mail content.
Thanks in advance,
Geminus
"Launch a file" will use the default operating system application to launch files. You probably have VIM setup as the default for that file type. You need to tell your operating system which application to launch for the file type. I only know how to do that in Windows.

Thank you for your quick reply. I will set that up right away.
This is a great extension!
P.S. This app does not allow me to do the math until I have spell checked the post.

Gread addon!
But i need that feature – "save (extract) atachment".
You can made this?
Someone else asked that earlier in this thread, and I commented that an initial anlysis showed it is probably doable, and I will try to do that in one of the next releases of FiltaQuilla

Ok, thanks.
I'll be waiting.
When there will be a following release?
Generally my releases are currently roughly syncronized with Thunderbird releases. Thunderbird beta3 is currently scheduled for release on May 12, 2009, so that is when I will target my updated extensions.
That being said, I don't really know how hard the work is going to be for a filter action to process extensions. Removing extensions is a complex async operation. Also, I'm away from my usual development environment for the next few weeks, plus any time I have will be mostly devoted to trying to push a few last bugs into the beta3 release.
I know you wanted answers, and not excuses. I just want you to know that I do care about this feature, but because of circumstances it may take while to get to it. I cannot promise this for the next release.
You should also note that Thunderbird does not currently support a filter search option that detects attachments, and that limits considerably the value of a filter action to process attachments. I've considered adding such an option to the base code, but the chances of that getting done before TB3 are fairly limited.

The development version now has an action "save attachments to" and then gives a directory selection dialog. It will save all attachments for an email as files in a folder, using unique file names if needed to prevent collissions.

Hi and thanks for the great software!

I just installed filtaquilla-1.1.0-tb+sm.xpi, precisely because I need to work with attachments… I'm on Ubuntu + Shredder, and when I go to 'Preferences', the "Save Attachments to" looks like all other checkboxes – but "Detach Attachments to" is grayed out and selected?! Is this the way it is supposed to be ? See:
I'm wandering – does this mean that when I choose a "Save Attachment As" action – that necesarilly also detaches the attachment? What if I want to both keep the attachment on server, and save an attachment of it locally?
Thanks for any answers,
Cheers!
