Previewing hyperlink paths in away messages

TXAggieScott · Post by **TXAggieScott** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 3:21 am

I have been using Adium for 10 months now. I absolutely love the program. The biggest thing I miss coming from AIM on a windows box is the ability to view where a hyperlink is going to take me before I click on it. If I am at work, I definitely want to know that the URL looks work appropiate before clicking on it. I would also enjoy being able to right click on the link and have the option to copy link URL to clipboard (like in firefox).

I believe normal messages (not away messages) come with the ability to copy a URL path to clipboard, but not preview.

Thanks,

Copy to clipboard sounds cool, and probably something we should do anywhere with a url. How does aim display where the url is going to go?

If you put your mouse over the link for a second it displays a pop up caption (not sure what the technical name for the box is) that displays the URL

That'd be a tooltip

Also, copy link to clipboard is an option when i control-click / right-click a link. Not for you?

It is not available when viewing a link in an away message or profile (aka Contact Info Window).

I just looked in the beta and the tool tip and copy link are both there. Im glad to see that feature will be in 0.8
