Odd error trying to attach file from photo management software

Hello all,

I'm using F-spot as a photo management software (not currently packaged  
in any distro I know of after development got real slow a few years ago  
- but I still like it and there is at least some work going on) and  
selected a photo and hit the Photo/Send by mail menu.  It did pop up a  
new balsa message, but also the pop-up error "Could not attach the file  
file:///tmp/tmp58206c82.tmp/DSC_2263.JPG: not an absolute path." which  
is strange, because that really is the path to the file it created  
(downsized from the original).  The only possible issue I can see is  
the extra leading slashes.  Are those slashes really a problem that I  
should take back to the F-spot developers, or is balsa doing something  
odd to not be able to find the file?

Thoughts?

Jack
