adding the 'original url' somewhere in the read page? #237

Closed rhtCanuck closed 5 years ago

rhtCanuck commented 5 years ago

Hi, great little tool. It may be exactly what i need. I'm running the Pro version on windows10 and google chrome. My main use is not for reading directly in the browser, but to create a cleaner version of pages to paste into a spaced-repetition / incremental reading tool called supermemo. What happens is i copy / paste a page of information i want to learn( not just read) from my browser into supermemo. Then over the next days/weeks/months the app will remind me that i need to review that information. I can split it, add to it, link it to others, etc . basically do whatever i need to do over that period of time to lock the knowledge into my long term memory. Since i'll be returning to that page in my app over a period of months, and may be linking it to other things as my domain knowledge / needs change - I 'll need a few things to help. For example the date i copied the link, the author( not critical but nice to have). But especially i'll need the original URL.. So if i want to, i can click on that url in the cleaned page , and be able to go back to that page. You have the author and date. I know you have the original url somewhere, since it shows up on the dashboard when you share a file. Can i get that into the cleaned file? or is that an invasive request. And before you suggest adding a manual comment - I'm doing this every day and sometimes 30 or more links. Manual gets pretty old. Is it possible to do with the additional options /domain selectors features? (apologies if its a dumb question. I'm a dba, not this front end stuff) thanks, Randy

Hi and thanks for the request!

It's a reasonable one, though I will likely hide the original url in the default stylesheets because most people don't need it. So you'll need to change your personal theme to show it. Or I may enable it under Just Read's options. We'll see.

I'll update you when I implement it (which will likely take a few days).

Great! I didn't expect that kind of turnaround!!!

As of JR version 1.6.0, this functionality is added but has to be enabled under Options -> Additional Options -> "Always add the original URL."
