Re: [Ext] Easy Copy
Love this addon. Is the twitter account @EclipseOnETips still active/being monitored btw?
Also, would be good to have to export templates (I'm trying to sync my work and home PCs)

Re: [Ext] Easy Copy
I am trying to create my own template that gets me:
the source text - plus
the URL
Example, let say, on this page (at the top) mozilla+URL -resulting in following:
mozillaZine - http://forums.mozillazine.org/
When I select an area on a website, it should -only- do this for URLs
I have tried to create my own template, but it does not work.
==
==
Tried with Title and Links On Page (Text) : %title% - %links_text%
results in:
=
=
The page I used for this example can be found on: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tweede_Ka ... ingen_1922
Any suggestions please?
Thanks

Re: [Ext] Easy Copy
Hello all,
I am looking to build a template to copy content and URL at the same time.
Ex : browser display :
Would like this render :
Does any one knows if the plugin offers such a possibility and if yes what are the arguments to parse in the template ?
NB : i can't use %html_source% as it copies unwanted code. Source code has been generated by wysiwyg editor (yuck) and contains lot of unwanted code
Thanks a lot !

Re: [Ext] Easy Copy
There seems to be a bug with "Remove unnecessary text"
When I copy the Title + Link (text) (template: <a href="%url%">%title%</a>) at http://reason.com/blog/2017/04/19/unive ... exy-captai, I get:
University Keeps Painting of Sexy Captain America Beheading President Trump, As Well It Should - Hit & Run : Reason.com http://reason.com/blog/2017/04/19/unive ... exy-captai
Yet " - Hit & Run : Reason.com" is in my list of lines to chop
I suspect it's because & and & are treated differently (the page title from Properties is "University Keeps Painting of Sexy Captain America Beheading President Trump, As Well It Should - Hit & Run : Reason.com")
So it looks like Easy Copy copies the page title to the clipboard with & changed to &, but the logic recognising text to strip sees the original page title

Re: [Ext] Easy Copy
Thank you for this superb add-on. I wish I had discovered it much sooner, because I utilize it daily to a great extent.
Please allow me two questions:
1. Until very recently, I was able to copy the URI's of selected links > HTML-link to paste into Outlook messages. I am not sure what brought this on, but while it seems that I can still copy the URI's of the selected links, these will (apparently) paste into the message body of Outlook, but will not display the HTML-link (TITEL-link?). In fact, not one of the three Tab>Context Menu>Copy URIs of Selected Tabs will be pasted. However, any of the Easy Copy/Copy All Tabs options selected from the Page Context Menu an pasted into the message body of Outlook will function 100%. My apologies if all of the foregoing sounds awry, but it is quite difficult to explain this. I can really only say the tabs context menu is broken for me.
2. I have tried to add add an action to Easy Copy/Copy All Tabs, which will allow me to copy the TITLE-link of SELECTED TABS from the Page Context Menu. I failed in this, and I do hope you can help me achieve this by providing an example of the action for me to follow.
Thank you.

Hi
Will there be a WebExtension version of this add-on for Firefox 57?
Thanks

Re: [Ext] Easy Copy
Will Easy Copy support Firefox Quantum/WebExtensions?
The answer, unfortunately, is No.
I loved making Easy Copy and hearing how it's helped people. But, as a hobby extension, it took a lot of time to develop and I just don't have that time anymore, not with my day job and other side projects that I'm working on. Proof: There hasn't been an update to it in over 2 years
Mozilla, rightly, introduced a very different model for Firefox extensions, one which I think and hope has made Firefox better and leaner. But it also means that Easy Copy will probably need a rewrite or, at best, a time-sapping port.
Like many of you, I still use Easy Copy myself and have mainly stuck to an older version of Firefox to keep using it and a couple of other, older extensions. I don't know of any good, functioning alternatives either. Eventually I'll have to upgrade but I'm hoping by then that someone would have made an Easy Copy altenative so I don't have to
I appreciate everyone's awesome feedback and I'm glad I could make the Internet a bit easier to copy!

Re: [Ext] Easy Copy
Thanks. I just stumbled across this post today. Are you (lordbii) the same person as oombii, who started this?
I use MakeLink, and it sounds similar to this extension. Neither works with version 57. Waiting.

Re: [Ext] Easy Copy
The dev of Text MultiCopy addon - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... multicopy/ - said (in a a reply to a request by one of the reviewers) he's considering adding this functionality in his next update.
BTW - I installed his extension. It is very useful.

Re: [Ext] Easy Copy
As of Firefox ESR 52.9.0 (32-bit) Easy Copy has stopped working for me. No errors. It just does not copy anything to the clipboard.

Re: [Ext] Easy Copy
If anyone needs a replacement for newer FF builds, I am using Link Text and Location Copier. Pretty much the same except you can't trim extraneous prefixes/suffixes

Re: [Ext] Easy Copy
I mainly use the Pale Moon browser but this " Link Text and Location Copier" is indeed a good replacement for EasyCopy in Firefox.
