Add 'Share image' to long-click menu [Suggestion]

Hi,

Sometimes I'd like to share an image from the web in a Google Hangout or similar. It would be nice to be able to long-click an image and have a 'share' option that would insert the image rather than the URL.

Thanks,
Raj.

Download the image and share after. To share something from the web which is only virtually in your possession doesn't have any sense at all. That's why the URL and Xerox were invented. )

I would imagine that the option I describe above would do that for me in the background. It's about just making it easier for the user (and it works in Chrome).

If its Chrome way then of course could be implemented but I predict a low feedback on that. " keep it simple" is a powerful slogan and could be on a list only when a dev is bored (like right now?).

I'm not wedded to a 'share' option. Perhaps an alternative might be a 'copy image' option when long-clicking an image (something desktop browsers have had in their right-click menus for years)?

Aha. Well, you have Open Image + share button in menu. What do you want more?

I tried that and it inserted the URL of the image when I tried that, not the image itself.

It would be a very useful feature. I keep going back to chrome because of this. Saving and then sharing takes too many steps, it's so much faster on chrome
