[chandler-users] URLs in detail area

[Procter A.]

Nice tip.

Works just as cool on a Mac, you cant drag and drop file into window for it to become a link though (might be nice), where as a web URL you can from the browser, not a local html file though as that put the code in the note, which in the end killed chandler !

Files seems good
file:///Users/yourname/anotherA.png
file:///Users/yourname/teaching.doc

Spaces need %20
file:///Users/youname/Area%20of%20Research.pdf

Applications same
file:///Applications/whatever.app

Folders will also open as well in finder
file:///Users/yourname/yourfolder


Urls not blue on mac but I think this is known already :(

Subject: [chandler-users] URLs in detail area



Being able to reference files on my local machine is a useful
application of URLs in the details area. So, I did a little testing to
see what was feasible...

FILE TYPES
file:///C:/temp/temp.txt    (access local .txt file)
file:///C:/temp/letter.doc  (access local .doc file)
file:///C:/temp/temp.pdf    (access local .pdf file)

APPLICATIONS
file:///C:/Program%20files/Microsoft%20Office/OFFICE11/winword.exe
(launches MS Word)

NAMES WITH SPACES
file:///C:/My%20Documents/temp.txt  (path with %20 works, but...)
file:///C:/My Documents/temp.txt    (path with space fails)

SLASHES
file:///C:\My%20Documents\temp.txt (direction of slashes is irrelevant)
