This is a simple Chrome extension that allows users to store, manage, and open local file paths directly in the browser. The extension stores file paths persistently using Chrome's local storage API, enabling you to open documents, images, and other files from your local machine with just a click.
- Store and manage file paths: Save local file paths in the extension's storage and manage them easily.
- Persistent storage: File paths are saved across browser sessions using
chrome.storage.local, ensuring that saved paths are available even after the browser or extension is restarted. - Open files in new tabs: Open saved file paths directly in new browser tabs.
- Simple user interface: The extension provides a straightforward popup for adding and viewing file paths.
- Add a file path: Enter a valid file path (e.g.,
file:///C:/Users/Username/Documents/File.pdf) in the input field. - Store the path: The file path is saved in Chrome's local storage for persistent access.
- View saved file paths: Saved file paths are listed in the popup, and each path can be clicked to open the corresponding file in a new tab.
- Support for Windows paths: File paths entered in Windows format (e.g.,
C:\Users\Username\Documents\File.pdf) are automatically converted to thefile:///URL format. - Webpage paths can also be saved and opened. For this just toggle the Web Path switch.
