Operate on file:// URLs also #2

Closed cxw42 closed 8 years ago

cxw42 commented 8 years ago

Nice extension! Would you please update the manifest (and source?) so it will also work on file:// URLs? My use case involves a lot of locally-stored HTML.

I have not done any Chrome extension development myself, but found this doc page and this SO question* that suggest adding "file://*/*" to the matches in manifest.json should do it.

Thank you!

Hello Anthony, thanks for noticing this. I will add the "file:///" extension and update the app.

Roger, works for me! Thanks very much!

(Note to anyone reading this issue: if it doesn't work for you, check the box for "Allow access to file URLs" in chrome://extensions/ :) .
