Description Bastien Nocera 2006-10-12 15:30:00 UTC 
Much like "nautilus-sendto" (or even based on it), it would be nice if epiphany could have a "Send to..." contextual menu item.
It would be possible to send via e-mail, Bluetooth, or IM from the webpage itself, possibly simply saving to a local file and using nautilus-sendto for the sending process.

This is similar to what "TransSend" allows:
http://www.bluetooth.com/Bluetooth/Apply/TransSend/Using_TransSend.htm

(Ideally, there wouldn't be any IE checking in those TransSend enabled web pages, and we would be able to implement a compatible add-on).

Example "enabled" page (with IE checks):

Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2006-10-12 15:30:58 UTC 
I forgot to mention that it could also send images.
Comment 2 Christian Persch 2007-05-30 17:18:04 UTC 
That would definitely be nice!
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2007-09-05 15:30:48 UTC 
I've looked through some code, and it would be pretty straight forward to do this for text or images, but not for both combined.

Would there be an easy way to take a "picture" of the current webpage, a-la gnome-web-photo, that the user could then crop to their liking and send out in an email/via bluetooth?
Comment 4 Christian Persch 2007-09-05 18:23:23 UTC 
I think you can do that with a <canvas> element.

I have no idea what you mean by that.
Comment 6 Christian Persch 2007-09-05 20:09:34 UTC 
There is a firefox extension that uses a <canvas> element to do tab preview. I have no idea how to use that from C++ though.

Using the gnome-web-photo code isn't easy since it's slow and doesn't work with gecko 1.9.
Comment 7 Christian Persch 2007-09-20 13:04:33 UTC 
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395033 for a way to do this with gecko 1.9 .
