Thanks for the suggestions. It was harder than I expected, but I
successfully convinced OS X that Thunderbird is now my default mail
client. Unfortunately, that has not improved the export situation from
digiKam. Gilles, I am using digiKam version 5.1.0. You mentioned that in
version 5.x, digiKam uses the mailto URL to launch the email client. If
that is the case, then I'm very confused why mine will not work. And if
this is true, why does digiKam still let you pick which mail app to use
from the Export dialog (and not just rely on the default mail app)? Prior
to setting Thunderbird as the default, my default client was Gmail (via the
web). This was done by registering Chrome as the default mail program and
within Chrome it is set to launch Gmail for a mailto link. I feel like if
I am selecting Thunderbird from within digiKam, then it shouldn't matter
what the default mail app is. On a Mac installation, how is digiKam
supposed to link up with Thunderbird? Can I access the underlying KDE
settings that digiKam is running on with a Mac installation?
Other suggestions?
Thanks,
Chris
