[Discuss] - "enter address" text field

Closed this issue · 13 comments

I see the official WBM extension has a text field you can type or paste in URLs. This means you can remove one step from going to wayback and then typing or pasting in a URL.

Might be useful.

Will look at UI soon

I've quickly added this - terribly UI for now, but we can fix that later, I guess

I paste in a URL and press enter but... nothing?

Could you provide your test case? Did you include http or https?

Seems to work now, will keep an eye one it!

Ah, yes, maybe I did not include http or https://

Archive will accept URLS without those.

So I think we hit two problems:

  1. I ought to allow URLs without protocol to be submitted
  2. I ought to implement something that will explain why the entry was rejected

Something for tomorrow or the day after

This should be fixed now. I say these things with conviction, but realize how wrong I likely am ;)

I have messed up the translation of the URL code. Please fix.

I think it should say www.example.com as the Placeholder.

I fixed the www.example.com - however I do have a question. Especially when seen on a dark background it is apparent how the menu entries are of a much lighter color than the "this page was never archived" or "Enter a URL to go to archive" page. Should this really be the case?

I'm not sure why they are that colour. Maybe because they are buttons?

They should be dark like the label.

Turns out, it is very much down to the transparency effect that is applied to the popover. Now makes me wonder, if I should change the background of the popover or simply accept that this is a bit of an optical illusion in some cases. I did double- and triple-check that they all use "labelColor"

I think just leave it if it's standard macOS behaviour.

perfect, I'll close the issue again
