| Summary | 0001168: Open from URL | ||||
| Description | In preparation to some possible web experiments, it could be cool to have an "Open from URL" command in the file menu (and also via python). The command would show a dialog box when someone can insert an url like: "http://www.myserver.com/path/myfile.FCStd" (ideally it could even automatically paste the contents of the clipboard, if it a text beginning with "http://" or "https://") The file would then be downloaded to a temp dir and opened. The file path should be unset, so when someone clicks "save", a file save dialog opens, instead of saving on the temp file. | ||||

I plan to work on that in some future, but if someone wants to do it (surely faster than me), don't hesitate! |

Visit e.g. this page: http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4216 Press on one of the attached files and drag and drop it to the FreeCAD main window. This opens a download manager window where a progress bar is shown. The file gets saved in the "FreeCAD" sub-directory of your Documents folder. There are a few limitations: * nowadays many download links are not simply a file but a PHP script and in a couple of cases it fails to retrieve the actual URL * if you try to download from a server where you have to be logged in |

Wow, amazing!!! I hadn't seen that download manager. This is far better than what I had in mind. I guess we can close this now! One more case of issues you solved before it was even openend, Werner :) |
