The 'select a file' dialog box is provided by your OS, and the value it returns is supposed to be in whatever native path/filename format the OS uses. Adding "file:///" to the front converts it from a local filesystem reference into a URL, forcing the plugin to use xmlHttpRequest() handling to access the file. Curiously, this seems to work, even though the local file isn't actually being delivered via http: protocol. At least you've found a workaround... while we attempt to figure out why the path/file returned by your OS isn't correct for performing local file I/O on that OS! hmm... -e --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
