allow disabling some category tabs

I never use the 'rhymer' and 'reader' features, in addition to 'favorites'. There's an entry in the Android share menu (without any title) for all 'rhymer','thesaurus' and 'dictionary' while the copied & shared text (Android 13+) appears to always be opened in 'reader'.

Since for instance Termux doesn't use the standard Android share menu, Poet Assistant can't practically be effectively used with the app. Words have to be copied manually to Poet Assistant.

I did a quick test on Android 13, and when I selected "rhymer" from the share menu, it opened in the rhymer tab. 🤔 Perhaps I didn't use the same steps you were using.

Before looking into this in more detail, could you please let me know which version of the app you're using? The "reader" tab was renamed to "composer" in version 1.28.0.

Thanks!

I'm using the current 1.30.6: version, but copied the tab names from an online image search. I'm sorry.

I don't think I'm shown any names for the Poet Assistant share tiles (note the phone layout):

the context menu (accessed via the three-dot "hamburger icon) doesn't have any either:

Some clarification for the Termux issue — the app has its own context menu ( via 'more...') and Poet Assistant only has one entry when sharing text, seemingly always defaulting to 'composer':

Nonetheless I'll leave the issue open, in my view it's worthwhile to have options for removing unwanted entries from the app and Android context menus.

Looks like the menu works fine from Chrome:

For info, this may not apply exactly to what you're looking for, but there is a setting to disable poet assistant tabs from appearing in the context menu (like when selecting text inside chrome). It applies to all tabs though, there's not a separate setting for each tab:

As for termux, I didn't try that app, but it's a different entry point into poet assistant: it's a "share" functionality. It's true, the share functionality currently only opens in the composer tab.

So if I can summarize the issues (of this ticket):

• Context menu: some apps don't show the tab names, they show the app name "Poet Assistant" for each tab.
  • Looks like a bug in fennec: https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild/-/issues/58
• Context menu: poet assistant doesn't have a way to choose a subset of tabs to appear (it's currently all or nothing)
• Share functionality: only supports the composer tab, would be nice to choose which tab.
  • This may be partially mitigated for your use case, if termux integrates the PR to handle the PROCESS_TEXT intent action: you'd be able to open the text in the correct Poet Assistant tab directly from termux. Add support for apps supporting PROCESS_TEXT intents. termux/termux-app#3720

For info, I've opened a PR in termux, so that it can show text processing apps (like poet assistant rhymer/thesaurus/dictionary, wikipedia, google translate...) from the text selection menu. termux/termux-app#3720

Thanks! I opened an issue over there about the incorrect labels appearing: https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild/-/issues/58

Looks like I found the line of the code with the bug, but opening a PR for that project is a bit overwhelming (the bug is in geckoview, which looks like a huge project with a complicated build system).
