Can't reproduce it here. What do you mean by "text format"? Is it a "real" clickable link or just "http://www.foobar.com" as plain text? Plain text link, if I understood correctly. yes, plain text link (someone wrote a link directly on a forum for example and i select it with the mouse). In konqueror, when i select a link who begins with "http://...", i can open it directly in a new tab, from the contextual menu [Open "http://www..."]. Well, actually i've just realized that i'm a bit confused : in akregator, whatever you select in a page, you always have "open in new tab" and "open in external browser" ; in konqueror, the [open "http://..."] entry appears in the contextual menu only if the selection begin with "http". This is this behaviour that I was looking for in akregator : select a plain-text link in a page and be able to open it from the contextual menu in an external browser, or a new tab in akregator. The select-and-open is quite useful because there are often plain-text links on blog/forums... For example, i've opened this page in akregator, via the rss feed of kde-apps: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=29317 If i want to read the first plain-text link (http://mirror.pusling.com/), i can't select it and open it in a new tab or an external browser: i need to copy it, open my browser and paste it (even if the selection begins with "http...", i don't have any entry in the contextual menu who let me open it from here, like in konqueror) well, finally, it appears that this is more a wish than a bug, sorry Changed to wishlist. So this is same thing what Linkification plugin for Firefox does. And I also agree that Akregator should work this way. Thank you for the bug report. As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists. If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved. |
