ThumbnailCopy Firefox Extension
ThumbnailCopy adds a right-click entry to "Copy Image As Link" for images that are links. It then copies HTML to the clipboard that is suitable for posting in a blog post, etc. Here's the official addon page where you can install it.
About this project: This is a very simple Firefox extension for a very specific purpose. It's also the first one I've ever written!
Once you've installed it, you can test it here:
Interesting source files:
- content-script.js - detects when a context menu is shown and gathers information about the image and owning link.
- background.js - sets up the menu item and handles when the menu item is clicked.
- clipboard-helper.js - code for copying text to the clipboard.
