Bug ID: 366601
Summary: Improve -and priorize- the sharing possibilities
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.7.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: inf...@openaliasbox.org
CC: bhus...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
In Kmail, if you right click on an image in a received mail -if you have
attachments view configured as «Inline»- there's a «Share image» entry in the
right click pop up menu that attaches said image to a new mail. There's also a
more complete command if you right click on a link: in this case you can share
it not only by mail, but also to Facebook, Twitter, etc. It's a very cool and
contemporary feature, but kind of insufficent if we think on the sharing
capacities that are possible in mobile devices:
- The sharing options should be available desktop wide, not only in Kmail and
few more programs, and be available for everything: local files, attached files
in mails, remote files managed through Dolphin, Konqueror, whatever, text
selections, contacts in Kaddressbook, calendar events, etc, just like in our
mobiles, as I said before: total -almost- sharing capabilities.
- Every file should have the same sharing options -not only limited to the
mail, like the pictures in Kmail- and these options should be increased to
include IM apps -not only KTP, but any that the user has installed, i.e:
Telegram, Pidgin, Skype, etc-, Bluetooth, the cloud..., again like in Android.
- The options offered should be a little more logic: going back to the Kmail
example, "Private note", in fact opens the browser to log in Evernote instead
pasting that link in a note in Kjots, Qownnotes, or any similar program the
user has. This would mean to extend the sharing capacities to not only Internet
related programs -I suppose this wouldn't make sense for every kind of content,
but I think it does for text-.
About Pocket, Linkedin, Livejournal... well, I don't know any person who uses
Pocket, not even among heavy "firefoxers", I didn't even knew what
"Livejournal" is nor think most users have a Linkedin account nor are posting
links there too often. My experience isn't law, of course, I'm sure that many
of you use these companies a lot, and I don't say they have to be removed from
the sharing options, but I believe that the very first ones should be the
users' apps: Kmail, which is already there, KTP, Kjots, OC client..., and then
a submenu with all those more "exotic" services and companies. The order and
presence could be configurable desktop wide via some KCM module, so users who
don't even know what is Livejournal, but do use, say, Pastebin, can substitute
the Livejournal entry for a Pastebin one, or the Linkedin one for other to
publish in Github, the cases are multiple, ergo the need of configuration
options.
In fact, as I've said, this is nothing new, mobile devices' OO.SS have this
function years ago; I think it's time for KDE to catch up with modern features,
do you agree?
BTW, excuse this feature request lenght.
Reproducible: Always
