Иван Шипилов (ID: 0000006e65474296) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/11/2024 не работает. ни на тестовых данных ни на реальных. все по инструкции

Chris Simon (ID: 000000d80551bdcc) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/18/2024 This "open local files" extension, as far as I can tell, is useless. It doesn't add any new button or menu that allows me to browse and open a file. The text that it shows after installation doesn't provide any guidance on how to actually use the tool to open any file other than the example. This is basic functionality that every browser should support.

Ralf Wieler (ID: 00000046e29942fc) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/17/2023 Funktioniert nicht! Öffnet nur die Testseite und bietet keinen Zugriff auf die lokalen Dateien. (System: Win11Pro & Chrome Version 120.0.6099.109)

Simon Backman (ID: 000000b4703300cc) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/18/2023 händer inget, kommer inte åt några filer

Harry Varnis (Harold) (ID: 00000072fb10ab68) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/31/2023 The opening test doesn't work right on Linux.
