Share images from web pages #183

Closed dessant closed 2 years ago

The browser's native share service may not work for all images on a page, so a button to extract an image from a page for sharing was added last year to Samsung Internet. Now we can enable sharing for Safari 15 and browsers based on Chromium on Windows and Android. The feature will also be enabled on other platforms when they'll support file sharing using the Web Share API.

The share button can be hidden from the toolbar popup and the context menu from the extension's options on supported platforms.

How does it work? I tried it on lots of images, they all say "the selected image cannot be shared". I use Chrome.

@fireattack, which OS and browser version?

fireattack commented 2 years ago

I use Windows 7, Chrome 100.

Edit: never mind, I just noticed it's using the system's share function to work, which I think win7 doesn't have. All good now.

Thanks for the details, I will hide the button on older Windows versions.
