Is it possible to use another file browser #541

Open CaptainQuirk opened 6 years ago

CaptainQuirk commented 6 years ago

Hi there !

I'm looking for a way to use another file browser than the built-in one when sending attachments. Is it possible ?

Thanks !

Unfortunately not.

Too bad ! Could it be on the roadmap ?

For all practical purposes, sup is currently not maintained let alone developed. See dev branch commit history if you need empirical evidence https://github.com/sup-heliotrope/sup/commits/develop

I didn't know that ! Do you know of any alternatives ?

Depending on what was the reasoning behind you choosing sup, you might want to try https://notmuchmail.org/ with, say http://astroidmail.github.io/

Looks promising but is not console based. I guess I'm stuck back with mutt + notmuch then !

Thanks anyhow

you could submit a patch :-) changing the filebrowser doesn't sound like it should take to much surgery in sup's innards.

There are a few console based clients to use with notmuch. Check https://notmuchmail.org/frontends/ unless you already did.
