When I navigate to a picture I would like to be able to copy the deep url for that picture. Is this possible?

Yes, can't you just copy the link in the browser URL field like you would on any web page? For example:
https://www.photo.gallery/demo/x2/#/fancy/1i ... K2cd2s.jpg

There is a function to add this as a button also, but it may not work in all browsers ... You can enabled it in <imagebuttons>, and its called copylocation.

Sorry, I failed to notice this was about the mobile gallery ... and sorry, currently with the "swipe" interface, it does not set URLs or deep links. You would need to switch to another native interface we are working on, but this does not have the "swipe" effect. Sorry, but the swipe is based on http://www.photoswipe.com/ and we do not have much control of it.

I think its a bit tedious to do copy of URL field from a mobile device, and then switch apps and paste it somewhere else. There should however be some improved sharing option directly from image ... We will need to look into this ...

Would it be possible to have a button or link to copy the deep URL from the mobile site?

Sorry, I just appended my answer above after your reply ... yes probably, although very difficult working with an "alien" closed interface like the photoswipe. Unlikely it would be a "copy URL" function though ... This would probably require separate approaches for each mobile device if possible at all, and besides what mobile users want this? This is off the chart ... Mobile users just want to share directly to email or some chat or social media directly from some sharing option ... This is why you wont find a copy-url feature on any other mobile sites ...

Hi,
I just was wondering what "other native interface"you were referring to? Colorbox?
Thanks!

Old post here, but I meant just "another" interface. Photoswipe is an awesome lightbox for mobile devices and thats why we use it ... Colorbox? probably an option, although its not the tightest fit for a mobile device. Besides, you would still need to code a layer of functionality on top of the colorbox layer when an image opens. Currently, you can disable photoswipe and have images display in vertical scroll, which would be the easiest to extend.
