Description Miloš Popović 2009-06-25 14:20:24 PDT
Could you add „Open image“ in right-click menu on image file.

There is alredy an option „Open image in new window“, but I would like to open image in external program (so that I can for example read EXIF data).

It should be easy to do ;)

This sounds like a feature that a web browser using WebKit may want to implement, rather than something that WebKit would implement itself.

The reason I am posting here is that, while translating Webkit Gtk to Serbian language, I saw some similar features implemented directly into Webkit.

Thanks for quick Reply, I値l send this to Gnome Epiphany team.

Thanks for filing it anyway. Ephy/any app should at least add a callback handler to the menu item so they can launch whatever the preferred app is for opening an image, saving files to disk, etc.. for example.

It's impossible to implement outside of WebKitGTK+ because there is no API to access an image that is not an anchor. We still need a way to access an element at a particular position within the web view.

This bug should be reopened!

Christian Dywan  : isn't it what WebKitGTK+ 1.1.15 now has ?

"A new function, webkit_web_view_get_hit_test_result, which allows to do a 'hit test' on the coordinates specified by a mouse event. A hit test provides context information about that point in the document, like whether it's an image, a link, an input box, etc."

antistress is right. This is doable in 1.1.15. Please file a bug against your browser to implement this feature.

Thanks.
