About this extension

This is a companion extension for QOwnNotes to interact with the note taking desktop application.

QOwnNotes is the open source (GPL) plain-text file markdown note taking application for GNU/Linux, macOS and Windows, that (optionally) works together with the notes application of ownCloud or Nextcloud.

To use this extension QOwnNotes needs to be running.

Features:

managing bookmarks with QOwnNotes notes
- for more information about the bookmarks feature please visit https://www.qownnotes.org/Knowledge-base/QOwnNotes-Web-Companion-browser-extension
creating a new note (only text) from the current selection by right-clicking it (this is scriptable in QOwnNotes)
creating a new note from the content of the current webpage by right-clicking on the page (this is scriptable in QOwnNotes)
the html will be converted to markdown and images of the page will be downloaded (might take a while)
creating a new note with a screenshot of the visible part of the current webpage by right-clicking on the page

## Permissions

- the extension uses the `tabs` permission that may be interpreted as permission to `Read your browsing history` to be able to store bookmarks for all open tabs in a window with a single click

Release notes for 20.5.0

## 20.5.0
- screenshots are now captured as png instead of the browser's default format to capture screenshots
(for [#17](https://github.com/qownnotes/web-companion/issues/17))
- the context menu entries `Create note from page (HTML import)` and `Create note from selection`
where renamed to `Send page to QOwnNotes` and `Send selection to QOwnNotes`, because now a screenshot
of the current page will also be sent to QOwnNotes so you are able to use them in scripts
(for [#16](https://github.com/qownnotes/web-companion/issues/16) and [#17](https://github.com/qownnotes/web-companion/issues/17))
- you need QOwnNotes 20.5.7 or higher for this feature
- the default behavior is still that a new note is created with the page or selection text
- library security updates were made
- added more translation
