Add shortcut icon in share picker #345

Closed ChrisCinelli closed 1 year ago

ChrisCinelli commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. If I have more than one shortcut that ai want to put in the share picker there is an extra step. It is also annoying that I need to share with "HTTP shortcut".

It also took me a little bit to figure out how to be able to get the shared text in the JS.

Describe the solution you'd like Each shortcut should have an option "show in the share picker" that if it is checked, the app should add the shortcut with its own icon in the share picker.

Describe alternatives you've considered None

Additional context I REALLY love this app! Thank you for creating it!

Thanks for the positive feedback. I agree with the usefulness of your feature suggestion. I'm not yet sure though if it is technically possible. There's some technical limitations on how Android allows apps to interact with the sahre sheet. I'll look into it when I find the time.

Hi, i think the feature direct-share is meant: https://developer.android.com/training/sharing/direct-share-targets https://developer.android.com/codelabs/android-direct-share#0

In AutoShare Tasker plugin this is also used for such purposes. Thanks for the great app!

Did you look into this? One of the advantages of this app is to quickly share with a script with one tap. Currently I can only have one script.

@ChrisCinelli I don't think I understand your last comment. Could you elaborate?

ChrisCinelli commented 1 year ago

I mean that having a direct share target for each script let you share quicker when you have more than ine script. See @steff75 comment.

I'm looking into this now. I plan to have a working implementation in the next version, which I'm hoping to release within a few weeks.

Version 3.5.0 is now being released. It includes a feature which lets you turn shortcuts into Direct Share targets. You'll find the checkbox for this in the shortcut's "Trigger & Execution Settings" screen when editing it.
