Improve attachment saving UX

Open jtdaugherty opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Right now attachments get saved to disk in a human-unfriendly location that is difficult to discover, so when users want to save attachments for purposes other than just viewing, that's a problem.

Let's:

  • Add a new configuration setting to specify the default attachment saving location
  • Add a message selection keybinding to show the list of attached files on the selected message in a popup
  • Permit saving attachments from that popup selectively
  • When the user chooses to save an attachment, prompt for the destination, defaulting to the location in the configuration, with an option to edit before continuing

Also consider using the new file-selector widget for this (as used for adding attachments to messages).
