Re: URL Quoter [Releases/support]
Thanks for this, Moonchild. I just struck QuoteURLText from the wish list of legacy-Firefox-extension forks I'm putting together. Appreciate it!
Re: URL Quoter [Releases/support]
Thank you for this fork. It's useful to reference text found on web. A minor bug:
[bug]Using advanced formatting, it doesn't recognizes Turkish characters like "dotless i" in formatting setting. It quotes text without a problem but formatting is the culprit. For example when I set "@quote - Web Safyasi:@title-@url Ziyeret Tarihi: @date" in advanced formatting setting it never recognizes dotless i in "Web Sayfasi" and converts it to 1 and it becomes "@quote - Web Safyas1:"[/bug]

Re: URL Quoter [Releases/support]
Did this happen with the original QuoteURLText extension? I'm curious, because I've run into the odd application that doesn't support certain Unicode characters (for example, Armenian full stops " ։ ", which are a great substitute for illegal colons " : " in file/folder names on Windows systems, and bullet operators " ∙ ", which make for eye- and space-friendly separators). The explanation developers usually give me is that an external library their app relies on apparently offers incomplete Unicode support. I'm not a coder, so I can only take them at their word.tarakbumba wrote: ↑2021-04-27, 20:36[bug]Using advanced formatting, it doesn't recognizes Turkish characters like "dotless i" in formatting setting."[/bug]
Re: URL Quoter [Releases/support]
Please understand that I have very little time at the moment to analyse potential bugs in freshly-forked extensions. Any help anyone could provide to get more detailed information as to the cause of this would help in resolving it.

Re: URL Quoter [Releases/support]
Actually, Moonchild, I was amazed (and grateful) that you found time to fork it in the first place. It was really nice of you.
I know absolutely nothing about coding, but I unzipped the extension and started poking around. I eventually looked in the chrome folder, unzipped the the urlquoter.jar.zip file, and examined the Io.js file in a text editor. There, I found code pertaining to "charset" "ConvertToUnicode", and "ConvertFromUnicode":
Re: URL Quoter [Releases/support]
Many web pages used to (don't know if they still do) use Western European or some other encoding and not necessarily Unicode, so perhaps that's why there's the conversion routine.

Re: URL Quoter [Releases/support]
Actually conversion is no longer necessary as UTF-8 is fully supported. This seems to be a leftover from a bygone era (showing the original extension's age, there).
