[Editing] Linking to local files
I've received a request to add ability to link to local files/folders and not only web sites

Re: [Editing] Linking to local files
Erm I thought we could already do this??
Or are you seeking to tidy this method up?
Local files can be linked from CN notes using the "file:///" protocol prefix; should there be any spaces inside the path string, replace each of them with "%20" (without quotes; some other contentious characters like quotes and ampersand will need to be replaced, too).
Example:
Code:
file:///c:\Documents%20and%20Settings\USER\Desktop\My.txt

No trees were killed in the creation of this message. However, many electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

Yes, first the automatic URL en/decoding so no "%20"'s are needed anymore, then something like adding a "..." (browse for folder/file) button next to the arrow button with the ability to pick the file.
Also there should be a possibility to specify multiple links.
