dragging text not supported by AirDrop and a number of other actions #119

Closed sam0x17 closed 2 years ago

sam0x17 commented 2 years ago

I've been trying to drag URLs from my url bar to DropZone to send as an SMS or AirDrop to my friend, but it looks like these actions don't support text. I tried seeing if I could copy and edit the AirDrop script, however that option is not available (I guess the AirDrop action is special). Could you add this as a feature and/or how might I go about making this work? I am clicking and dragging from chrome-based browsers, and this same issue applies regardless of what type of selection I make in chrome i.e. I can select text on a page and try dragging it and none of the actions will be able to receive it with the exception of the url shortener action if the texts happens to be a URL.

The AirDrop action just uses the system AirDrop functionality which doesn't support text. Possibly a solution would be to take the dragged text, convert it to a file and share that. I will investigate this for a future update and update here if/when it gets implemented.

Thanks for the feedback.
