Extension summary

Google Photos is a great product, but it has a big weakness: It provides no mechanism to create easy to use links to your photos for sharing outside of Google Plus/Photos. This extension fixes that by providing context (right-click) menu options to create simple embeddable links (including BBCode style) to your photo, with optional resizing.

When you select "Copy Image Link" and either embeddable or BBCode link from the context menu, the extension will create the appropriate link text and place it on your clipboard, ready for you to paste into a message or forum post etc. It works with most any online system that can process typical image links.

This appears to have stopped working - please update! The right-click menu item no longer appears.

Well, I was really excited about this extension at first. But after a couple of days (maybe sooner) the link breaks.
