Show URL in browser

It would be nice if there was an option to show a (selectable/copyable/pastable) URL in the embedded browser. You have a blue bar across the top that could be used to display this.
I'm not talking about going to the URL of an item, I'm talking about showing the URL of the page the browser is currently displaying. If you click the title of an item, the Pedias take you to the associated URL and displays the page in the embedded browser. The embedded browser doesn't display that URL or any other.Conor wrote:For a URL that takes you to the selected entry drag an entry from the table view to a place that takes URLs, like a rich text document. For the URL from the URL field you need to turn on the URL field in the preferences under the fields tab, then it will be available in the edit window under the extras tab.
Ahh! Now I understand that when an entry is added the normally hidden URL field is populated with a link from the first site matched, which is usually Amazon here. But I'd prefer IMDb pages be opened in DVDpedia's internal browser. Occasionally clearing the URL fields and running Get Advanced Info for Selection > IMDb is the workaround (like with other fields, e.g. Ratings) since there's currently no way to force IMDb links to be the default URL.Conor wrote:For the URL from the URL field you need to turn on the URL field in the preferences under the fields tab, then it will be available in the edit window under the extras tab.
