[Feature Request] Open External Links in Ehpanda #166

Closed Yianlaen closed 3 years ago

Yianlaen commented 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When others are sharing ExHentai links in Telegrams, etc. , the current solution is to open it first in web browsers, then copy the titles and search it in the app.

Describe the solution you'd like

I can't implement any solution, but I've thought of three ideas. Lined in descending order of difficulty.

  1. Make links starting with exhentai.org or e-hentai.org handled with Ehpanda app.
  2. Make Ehpanda detect links in the clipboard.
  3. Add a section in the search tab to paste a link and open it.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Don't know alternatives, since I wrote the three solutions before I see this section. Sad.

Additional context

No additional info. But being thankful for developing such a great app.

Thanks for your advice.

Currently there are two ways to open E-Hentai URL in EhPanda.

  1. Tell EhPanda it's OK to detect URLs from the clipboard by turning on ‘Setting - General - Detects links from the clipboard‘. Copy that URL and open EhPanda.
  2. Open that URL in browser, tap the share button of browser, choose EhPanda.

P.S. Make sure EhPanda is in its HomeView when you try any of them. The second way requires the installation of EhPanda share extension.

Handling E-Hentai URLs directly requires official approval from E-Hentai since some files need to be added to their servers. And this seems to be impossible to accomplish.

So, I'm closing this issue tomorrow, please feel free to reopen it if you have any idea about...like a better approach?

Thanks.

Tell EhPanda it's OK to detect URLs from the clipboard by turning on ‘Setting - General - Detects links from the clipboard‘. Copy that URL and open EhPanda.

Seems that I have to look at settings more carefully next time.
