Office redirector Extension

Allows office files to be opened directly from the web or older SharePoint versions by changing links to URI format. (SharePoint 2016 does this automatically).

Supports:
Powerpoint files (.ppt, .pptx, .pptm)
Word files (.doc, .docx)
Excel files (.xls, .xlsx)
Visio files (.vsd, .vsdx, .vsdm)

How to use:
After plugin is installed, you'll need to add your legacy sharepoint site urls to the list of sites by clicking on a plugin icon.

Version history:
0.6: Visio files support added.
0.7: Bug with loss of configuration upon browser restart is fixed.
0.8: Removed unneeded permission and got rid of underscore.js
0.9: Preparing to migrate to manifest v3
