Some pages may have external references (i.e. links to pages that
were not included because they were either filtered out using the
exclusionlist.txt file, excluded by STAYONHOST/ STAYBELOW or was
exceeding the maximum link depth).
When such a link is followed the viewer will display a page with
the URL for the external reference. You can tap Copy URL and the
URL will be added to a Memo in the Memo database.
The Memo will be titled Plucker URLs <date> <time>. All URLs added
during a single Plucker session will be in the same Memo. If you
have a Plucker category in your Memo database, the Memos will be
placed there. Otherwise they will be in the Unfiled category.
Can't be more specific than that ;-)

There will always be different opinions about how a feature should
work... However, it's Open Source, so if you dislike the current
solution you have the possibility to change it for your own use.
Or you can wait until a more general copy feature is implemented.

Sure, but that has nothing to do with the ability to copy URLs.

We were only testing the bug tracking system, so it wasn't really
"open" to the public, yet. The bug reports you saw under your short
visit were fake ones.
BTW, you are not "banned" from the bug tracking system ;-) It's just
offline to (I guess) fix some remaining things before it goes live.
At the moment, not even I can get access to it.

Yes, I'm aware of that. The thing is that I have a long TODO list
and most of them are more important than changing the number of
pixels the page scrolls.
Right now it scrolls 120 pixels and if you can't build the viewer
yourself I can send you a viewer that use any other value. Select
a value between 120 and 145 (145 is a full page -- it will be 160
pixels if you remove the toolbar).
That only takes me a couple of minutes...
