Thank you!
yes I always have feedback
but this time it's more of a temporary problem I hope because it's too obvious so I think developers should already know that. so the feature is implemented but it doesn't quite work yet.
- Only the websites that Edge itself suggests to be installed as an app ( the plus sign in the address bar) appear in the Share targets. only few sites are suggested that way by Edge, including Twitter and Outlook and Google photos.
- when choosing Twitter as a share target from any program on Windows 10, 2 windows are opened. one is a completely white window with no content in it and the other one is the Twitter website itself opened in the PWA UI. and it doesn't do anything, just loads the home page.
HotCakeX It's not working for me on Edge 85.0.564.44 Stable?
Both Google Photos and Google Maps are PWAs (the Plus Symbol). Neither appear in the Share window.
- Google maps? you can't share anything in Google maps.
also Google photos might not be a good share target.
try Twitter, I did and it worked.
