Hide notification #13

Closed beroal closed 8 years ago

How do I hide the notification that copying is successful? I don't need it.

BTW, when is it needed? Copying may be unsuccessful?

Good point! I can look into that and at the very least make it a setting.

And you're right I don't think there's a scenario where this could fail, since it falls back to window.location.

The URL it displays is the one it found, which may not be the same as window.location but could as well be (and is often likely to be) a canonical URL defined in a meta tag.

For an example, go here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QH2KHH6/ref=s9_qpp_gw_d99_g193_i5_r?ie=UTF8&fpl=fresh&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-3&pf_rd_r=0Y0X2EQ3MWP4WTE7JMYW&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2437869462&pf_rd_i=desktop

Then:

use copy url and note the dramatic difference in what is copied vs. what your window says.

Okay. As long as the content on both URLs is the same, it's good for me.

Sounds like it's time to make this happen!
