This plugin creates a localexplorer link directly to files stored in your local Windows system, including shared network storage. It requires the Local Explorer Chrome or Edge extension plus the Windows integration module in order to work.
Installation
I tested this and it seems to work, but no guarantees. This requires both Local Explorer Chrome (or Edge) plugin and Windows integration modules, which I did not write and have no responsibility for. They work for me, but use at your own risk!
External requirements: This plugin requires the following additional components that must be installed separately:
- Local Explorer integration module: Read instructions here.
Install the plugin using the Plugin Manager and the download URL above, which points to latest version of the plugin. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.
Examples/Usage
Links look like this:
[[localexplorer>C:\Users\your_name\OneDrive\Documents\|Documents folder]]
[[localexplorer>C:\Users\your_name\OneDrive\Documents\book.pdf|Book in Documents Folder]]
[[localexplorer>S:\Department\Accounting\sales\EMEA.xlsx\|EMEA spreadsheet]]
If you have the required Chrome or Edge plugin and the Windows integration module, the link should open the folder (or file) according to the path.
Syntax
[[localexplorer>path|title (optional)]]
Security
Updated: A cross-Site-Scripting vulnerability was reported on 2023-08-14. This issue was resolved on 08/14/23. I updated the plugin to strip the double-quote (“) character from the path and also to apply the rawurlencode() function before constructing the HTML link, which should resolve the security concern. The current version should work correctly and securely. — lenehey 2023-08-15 02:23
