    Current implementation on iOS isn't quite right:

    There should be no text.

    Orion:

    Safari:

      eirk Would be great if you indicated what version are you using?

          Orion iOS version 1.3.9 (5), latest testflight release. this is the only release that supports sharing as NSURL

            6 days later

            1.3.9 (7)

            feature is still implemented differently from safari:

              @Vlad it's not implemented properly. Should I make another post or can you reopen this one?

                I use this copy (as copy link) function heavily. I suspect other apps do too, since the latest update seems to break some of my other share actions. “Open in Ice Cubes” no longer shows up.

                Also, pasting the combined title and url doesn’t paste the URL in some apps, like opening a new tab and pasting in Orion itself.

                Would be best to remove the title and only copy the URL. As I can’t think of any reason why I would want that title text there. We can safely rely on a websites open graph details and not unnecessary browser injections into our clipboards.

                Orion 1.3.9

                iOS 18

                  +1 for this. Unlike Safari and Firefox on iOS, selecting the URL in the address bar doesn’t include a copy button on the keyboard. This change makes it much harder to quickly grab the URL, and for some reason not all apps accept the URL half of the paste.

                  EDIT: this appears to be a side effect of this feature, which is great when sharing to apps but shouldn’t extend to the “Copy” item in the share sheet, akin to Safari. https://orionfeedback.org/d/7750-share-sheet-missing-site-title-and-selected-text-when-sharing

                    larke12 ah I rather much prefer the URL being copied. I find the extra bits unnecessary. But if this is something Orion really wants to support maybe we can have a separate share action “Copy Link” that copies just the URL?

                      Thanks for the discussion. Can you agree what the ask is?

                        Vlad the “Copy” action in share sheet should only provide the URL. Or if that is not possible, a new custom “Copy Link” action should be provided by Orion that provides only the URL.

                            larke12 Yes! That's what I was thinking too. Thanks for putting to words what I haven't yet! 💪

                                Merged 8 posts from Privacy issue. Copy function now includes title. Which also breaks URL copying..

                                  If it helps, https://github.com/sindresorhus/Pasteboard-Viewer shows Safari returning public.url while Orion returns public.utf8-plain-text, both on mobile and desktop.

                                  Specifically, continuing with the same google.com example as @eirk, Safari shares one item of type public.url:

                                  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<array>
	<string>https://www.google.com/</string>
	<string></string>
	<dict>
		<key>title</key>
		<string>Google</string>
	</dict>
</array>
</plist>

                                  While Orion shares 3 items.

                                  Item 1: public.utf8-plain-text

                                  [Google]

                                  Item 2: public.url

                                  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

</array>
</plist>

                                  Item 3: public.utf8-plain-text (blank/empty)

                                  Here's a screen grab of both:
