Search dial customization: Toggle to disable escaping special characters in the dial #304

Closed sundayLOOKplants closed 8 months ago

sundayLOOKplants commented 8 months ago

Problem: When using search dials that take urls as input, or other text with special characters, the characters are escaped, rendering the input invalid. Example use case: I have a Wayback Machine search dial that does not work correctly atm.

Proposed solution: I would like a checkbox for avoiding the default escape behavior, so a Wayback Machine dial can work correctly.

Alternatives I've considered: Making this the default behavior would break other search fields, so it does not seem like an option.

Thank you for the report! That's a pretty unique issue. I'll add a gear icon with a new option "Don't escape special characters" or something like that. For example: image

That way you will be able to customize it for each provider. It will be part of the next release (I'm still working on some other features so it may take a week or a bit more...).

Done: image

It will be part of 24.7 release, probably next week or week after. Thanks again for reporting this!
