Save to file #64

Closed netsi1964 closed 8 years ago

netsi1964 commented 8 years ago

Perhaps I am missing something, but the save button will not save the requested data? If I am wrong, where do I find the saved data?

If the feature does not exist - I would love to see such a feature: save to file which would allow you to save the requested data to a file, perhaps with the content in one file and the headers in another file.

Thank you for a great package btw :-)

I believe you are talking about the "Open in external editor" functionality? If you click that, it will save the requested data in a new file called "GET - httpgooglecom" for example, and you'd just "Save As".

Is this what you were looking for?

closing this because of no response - hopefully that comment above helped. if not, we can reopen the issue!

netsi1964 commented 8 years ago

Hi @ddavison Thank you for your reply, and sorry for not replying before.

  1. Tried your method: https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts
  2. Got the expected JSON in a new tab
  3. Clicked "open in separate editor" => empty new tab (!)
  4. Saved the file to a tmp file: tmp\GET - jsonplaceholder.typicode.composts

The file was empty... Did I do anything the wrong way?

If it had worked it would be a way to solve my request :-)

issue-64

netsi1964 commented 8 years ago

Great video! I see everything working perfectly on your computer... I am (here at work) on Windows 7, could that be the reason? How do you make those GIFs btw? :-)

ddavison commented 8 years ago

OH, yes if you are using windows, then this issue could be related to #42.

netsi1964 commented 8 years ago

Ok, I will have to take it with my boss then :-) You may close it... (still would like to hear about how you record and create that GIF though :-)).

ddavison commented 8 years ago

I use LICEcap to record those gifs :) http://www.cockos.com/licecap/.

if you find the solution - please submit a PR as other people seem to have this problem 😕
