Description Simon Redman 2022-08-29 20:53:52 UTC

SUMMARY
Some apps (Google News, some RSS readers, probably others), when you share a link from them, send it in the form of "title \n url".

KDE Connect should share just the URL (perhaps under a toggle switch, in case users like the "pretty" url)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Share URL from certain applications using KDE Connect

OBSERVED RESULT
URL is opened in a text editor window with "title \n url"

EXPECTED RESULT
URL is opened in the default handler for the URL type.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This ought to be caught and handled on the sending (Android) side, not on the receiving side.

Tagging as junior job since this should hopefully be fairly simple. See https://invent.kde.org/network/kdeconnect-kde/-/merge_requests/484 where it was proposed to do this on the receiving side, and translate the behavior to the sending side.

A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/network/kdeconnect-android/-/merge_requests/339

Comment 3 Albert Vaca Cintora 2023-04-07 20:43:25 UTC

In the end we decided to still share the URL with the text and then on the desktop side offer the option to open the link or copy the text up to the user. This was implemented in: https://invent.kde.org/network/kdeconnect-kde/-/merge_requests/530
