Performance: Consolidated multiple preg_replace calls into a single, efficient regex pass.
Support: Added handling for YouTube Shorts, Music, and Embed links.
Features: Enhanced link detection to preserve video timestamps (?t=...).
Robustness: Improved URL sanitization to prevent broken links (double slashes) and added rel="noopener" for security.
UI: Cleaned up the footer note by displaying a clickable hostname instead of the full URL.
This PR introduces the QuickPhoto addon, designed to improve the user experience within the Friendica editor. It addresses the issue of long, cluttered BBCodes (monster-links) that appear when images are inserted via drag-and-drop or the image uploader.
Key Features
- Automatic Simplification: Replaces complex [url=...][img=...]...[/img][/url] structures with a human-readable shorthand: [img]filename|description[/img].
- Seamless Reconstruction: Automatically restores the full, valid Friendica BBCode before previewing or submitting a post, ensuring 100% compatibility with the server.
- Enhanced Readability: Keeps the editor clean and focus-oriented while writing long posts with multiple images.
Technical Highlights & Optimizations
- Resource Efficient: The JavaScript is strictly scoped. It only becomes active if a textarea is present and visible in the DOM.
- Zero Latency Typing: Implements requestIdleCallback and throttling (500ms) to ensure that the simplification process never interferes with the user's typing flow or causes UI lag.
- Background Throttling: Logic is suspended when the browser tab is inactive (document.hidden) to save CPU and battery life.
- LocalStorage Cache: Uses a local cache for image data (auto-cleaned after 12 hours) to ensure reliability during a single editing session.
Testing performed
- Tested with the standard "Jot" editor and the newer Compose/Comment templates.
- Verified that image previews render correctly (reconstruction triggers on preview click).
- Verified that the final post contains the correct full BBCode on the server side.
- Confirmed that Drag & Drop inserts are handled immediately.

- Switched to DIV layout
- Also fixes button and position appearance.
- Also fixes button alignment and appearance issues
- Adding support for Quattro theme
Modified addon.
The addon used to generate a large system load and led to the server being unavailable. The changes help to make better use of system resources.
- Creates and removes tesseract-limited.sh to limit the system resources for tesseract (timeout/resource limits).
- Checks permitted formats to avoid wasting resources.
