Yet I have bookmarks that use file:// links (for local documentation and whatnot) that work fine. Maybe there is some sort of security feature in both browsers that disallows file:// links from real webpages to work. |

On October 10, 2005 at 22:22:54 (+0000), Anonymous commented: hmm, I just can speak for the Win side: to link (and call/display/open) files and directories works fine for me with IE (5.5 and 6), Firefox and Opera on W2k (which shouldn't be different from XP regarding this matter). You could simply call directories without the "file:" part, [c:\ simply like this](try it) either IE or Firefox. I covered Firefox more in detail in #141. If this doesn't work for you I would recommend doublechecking your personal security settings or third party software issues (firewall etc.) because I really cant imagine this method not to work. Especially because it aren't real webpages in this case and the call normally shouldn't care a web server (webrick, apache ...). Let me know if you're still having trouble with that. |

Maybe my security settings are too strict (or, perhaps yours are too loose). Oh well...I'm not the one interested in the feature anyway. :) |

after playing around a bit with that, it shows, that I get the same message if calling some of the following from within Firefox:
(file not found)
although mentioned before I don't really believe that. From my experience you would receive some error message which points out security issues... |
On October 10, 2005 at 05:19:25 (+0000), Anonymous commented: Thought I'd post this as an FYI... It seems this is a "feature" of Firefox afterall. There have been some bug reports filed about it. The main one appears to be "Bug 84128":https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84128, which is over 4 years old and still open. They can't seem to decide what to do about it. Interestingly, there is an error message generated for this behavior, but it only appears in the !JavaScript Console. Kind of a silly place to put it, IMO. And there is a configuration parameter (security.checkloaduri) that enables or disables this behavior. So there you go. |

Migrated from the original issue #74 at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/74
I just started using Tracks and it's great. However, it would be really helpful if there would be a button next to each action such that when you click it, it brings you to a specific directory (depending on the action) which contains the files regarding
this action, so that you find the files related to the action immediately and start completing the action...
