open a file located on client pc

[erich.wanker]

Hy,

for a special solution - i want to open files located on the client PC (every client has a network drive h:\ to the fileserver)

i changed in chrome some flags ..
entered "allow-file-access-from-files" to the Chrome-link ..
installed extensions like "Local Explorer - Open File Links in Chrome"

 

but nothing works

i call the file in my uniGui-app with

unisession.AddJS( 'window.open("'+datei+'");' );

at runtime - it looks like:  

window.open("file:///F:/erich/ordnertest/test 2/t2.txt");

OK

but nothing happend

 

Any Idea, how i can make this working???  a special configuration for browser or installing Extensions IS POSSIBLE! 

 

PS. the solution MUST handle with the local Files .. please don´t ask why 😉 

ThanX for suggestions

Hello, did You try to get file like is an example "file:///c:/temp/yourfile.txt" ?

@erich.wanker, here is a good solution explained, have you tried it?: https://developer.chrome.com/articles/file-system-access/

You must to use window.showOpenFilePicker(), not window.open();

Hi Erich,

Do you want to acces the files without the interaction of the user?
I don’t think this is possible because it would be a real security issue.  It is against the concept of any browser. You have to use an agent on the user machine.

@Erich,

Probably Local Storage is a good solution for you.
