Only remove Twitter image URLs, not 3rd party media URLs #612
Conversation
This is important because Flickr and Instagram images (amongst others) may have comments and other details on the page and the URL may be integral to the content of the tweet, whereas Twitter images are reliably at the end of the tweet. We also now won't load 3rd party images when Twitter images exist because this used to lead to double-images, and we now keep the URLs

This would be a nice improvement, +1 (although I do see that there are file conflicts) With this it would even be better than the official Twitter app on my phone lol (the app does keep Twitter image URL's, annoyingly). |

I've been meaning to check recently whether this needs further change (in addition to being updated to match the separate patch file that I use and keep up to date for my custom build - I'm never sure what the best practice is for fixing these conflicts!). While this doesn't remove 3rd party URLs, I've been wondering recently whether it has been removing Twitter URLs from the middle of the tweet. I think the best behaviour would be to only remove trailing image/quoted tweet URLs. |
