So basically what you are saying is that GM is only be able to access the files on the internet and/or some private shared network. So it cannot be used for accessing local files on a HDD, right? Correct me if I'm wrong. Are there no workarounds? Please suggest some.
You understand correctly: GM is not the tool to use to develop an application that reads local files and acts on them. If your local machine is running a web server, you could put the files that you want to process in a place where they can be delivered by the web server, and let GM works its magic. If you want to process graphics files through a local EXE, though, it's probably better that you build a full Firefox extension or a web application: I don't have any idea how GM would talk to a local EXE, but you could probably get IIS (or Apache) to do that for you. That, however, is a topic for an entirely different list. Dave -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "greasemonkey-users" group.
