Files extension not working

[HangingWithCMM]

When I use the files extension from https://extensions.turbowarp.org/files.js if I use the packager and put the link in "Custom Extensions" under "Advanced Options" and package the project when I try to save a file nothing happens and if a try to load a file it freezes. Also it doesn't work in the desktop editor only the web editor with the extension in the URL.

Thanks in advance.

The desktop app does not have the necessary changes to run unsandboxed extensions and won't for a while longer

note that these extensions are still highly experimental

if a try to load a file it freezes

it's working fine for me. Is this in the online version of the packager or the desktop version? It'll only work in the online version for the same reason as above.

when i save the file it doesn't save as the correct name when packaged as electron example: I put in the name example.exa but when it saves it saves it as example.exa..exa..exa..exa how do i fix it?

[GarboMuffin]

To clarify, it's working fine in the unsandboxed-extensions experiment and in the packager's preview, but not as an Electron app for Windows?

[HangingWithCMM]

@GarboMuffin Yes also it works fine with NW.js but not Electron

[GarboMuffin]

Looks like that is an Electron bug only affecting Windows that is fixed in the most recent version. We'll update our version of Electron this weekend.

Ok thanks

@GarboMuffin Also I cant seem to get Scratch3D extension to work?

[GarboMuffin]

The Scratch3D extension will require significant changes to work properly, and a complete rewrite to work in a way that people would expect and be compatible with things like the packager

Running ScratchX extensions has always been a "wouldn't it be cool if", not something we recommend actually using. Almost none of the extensions on scratchx.org will work properly. Issues about extensions not working should also be sent to https://github.com/TurboWarp/extensions/issues instead.

Ok sorry

[HangingWithCMM]

but is there any way at all to get scratch3D working rn

[GarboMuffin]

No

[HangingWithCMM]

:(

[HangingWithCMM]

could there possibly be an option to package a project to .hta in the future?

[GarboMuffin]

.hta is effectively dead as a format and the browser engine it uses (internet explorer's) has no hope of running Scratch

[HangingWithCMM]

Oh ok is there any way to get a scratch project into a standalone EXE file

[GarboMuffin]

The closest you will get today is using Packager Extras https://github.com/TurboWarp/packager-extras/releases to generate an installer

Or just HTML files. They work everywhere and users won't get (justifiably) scary security warnings.

Ok thanks

By "Scratch3D extension" I assumed you were referring to the extension with that name on scratchx.org. If you're talking about something else, let me know

Since the original issue of file extension not working has been worked around, I'm marking this as closed

Yes, I was talking about the one on scratchX is there any chance that it ever comes to turbowarp?
