how to open disk file? #4

Closed beantowel closed 5 years ago

In the Explorer section of the Editor, you should see the option to “Open in Viewer” when right-clicking on a compatible file format.

Otherwise, you can use the command palette “Open URL in Viewer” and copy the file path, using the “file://“ prefix.

This option does not appear from me on OSX:

Try to open the folder containing the file, and right-click on it in the Explorer section, not the Open Editor section.

Alternatively, you can use the command palette to run openUrlInViewer and specify your local file with the file:/// scheme. (E.g. file:///Users/me/Documents/file.stl )

@stef-levesque Thanks - it works outside of the Open Editor section. Strange behaviour, but that's on Code not you.
