Description Raphael Groner 2014-10-26 19:56:06 CET
At least for mailto links, there should not be a second mail client process.

For instance, I run claws-mail minimized as a systray icon. If I try to send a file from Thunar with sendto by e-mail context menu, there is called a second instance of claws mail.

exo-0.10.2-6.fc20.x86_64

simplescan uses xdg-email with help from the vala class Process. Maybe worth to look deeper in the module there.

Comment 2 Simon Steinbeiss editbugs 2015-03-05 22:15:35 CET
Strange, I also use claws-mail (3.11.1) but I can't reproduce this problem. Using exo 0.10.2-4.
Comment 3 Robby Workman editbugs 2015-03-05 22:19:00 CET
Unable to repro here with claws-mail 3.11.1 and exo-0.10.3.
Comment 4 Sean Davis editbugs 2015-05-22 04:07:36 CEST
It sounds like others are unable to reproduce with claws-mail.

It's up to the application being launched whether it should run in a single instance or allow multiple instances.

Marking this one as invalid. Feel free to reopen if you can find additional debug information.
