file:///path/to/file not supported #6

Closed reikred closed 4 years ago

I imagine I may not be the only one that might want to open some files using the file:///path/to/file type of a URL? Should be an easy fix to add?

It is not possible to open a file with any extension. Please open an issue upstream.

As jtagcat said, the file scheme is not supported by the extension API. Therefore I'm closing the issue.
