Signal-desktop: Integration with MacOS share menu.
It would be nice if there was simple integration with MacOS share menu so we can ship images and stuff directly from the desktop without having to go into the Menu. This also serves another purpose, for example with the share menu integration, I can also ask 1Password to ship an encrypted password file to somebody who needs a password to something without having to type it in to them.

Is the coming or is this a wont-fix issue?

Would really love to see this, just like iOS. I find my self using the share option more and more. I even press the share button shortcut when I want to share with Signal and then realise (again) that it doesn’t offer a share button.

I'd really love to see this feature soon. I know that it isn't most probably incredible important feature, but as others have pointed out, I find myself using a lot the share feature on macOS a lot these days.

One thing that could help us: is this possible with an Electron-based app? I wasn't able to find anything after doing a few minutes of research, but I'm sure I've missed something. Ideally, there'd be an API we could hook into to do this.

@EvanHahn-Signal I am not really a programmer so didn’t know this might have been an issue. Reading through this issue I am less hopeful.

That's unfortunate. It seems like we won't be able to implement this until Electron (presumably via Chromium) supports it. Please feel free to update this issue if there are any developments there.

@EvanHahn-Signal why not? Electron seems that have implemented this here: https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/25629
On the last message of the previously linked issue is the key… there is also a link to the macOS api for this feature.

So, just to be sure, is this going to be implemented (at some point) or not?
