Unable to pick colour on local file (even though access has been granted within Chrome)? #154

My understanding is that, by default, Chrome prevents extensions from accessing local files etc.

A Chrome update brought the ability to allow file access (to URLs like file://) for extensions. I've enabled this but it seems the extension still doesn't acknowledge it (https://tinyurl.com/y698y8cc).

Is there anyway to get round this? I believe this is the most accurate extension for an eye dropper and don't want to be forced to use another extension.

Thanks for report. I have to check current possibilities, as I hardcoded that it should not work for file:// as it wasn't possible before.

I can't promise anything as I'm currently without any free time but if it is possible, it should be super easy to implement.

Ok, looks like it is working. Just published new version (0.5.7).

Thanks again for reporting.
