Open local or remote diagram directly with URL #1898
Comments
Could you give a full, concrete example, including example URLs please? |
Yes, of course. Thanks for this amazing tool by the way. I have come to realize that I might be in the wrong repository as this is the desktop app, while I am using the online app. In the web app the URL's to open files directly exist (decoding code starts here ). The links start with #U for url, #L for local storage, #W for Onedrive API. What works:
What doesn't work (for me):
Longer explanation:

You can't create a https protocol URL to a local file, browsers don't allow that. |
Ah,.. I once knew, but now had forgotten that. I now downloaded the desktop app and (on Windows) it recognizes the *.drawio extension. So I can use this to make links to the filesystem while the OS opens the app. This is enough for me at the moment, I can use this to improve my workflow. What remains in this thread is for the webapp the inability to open URL "share links" that onedrive/sharepoint provides. (E.g. I can live without this, so having learnt two work-arounds I can use, please close the issue if you feel like it. Thanks for your time. |
It would be convenient to have URL links that from any program can at the same time 1. open the website/app and 2. open a diagram stored either locally or remotely. This is different to creating a link that embeds the entire diagram.
Describe the solution you'd like
Describe alternatives you've considered
My current alternative is to store the link or path to the file separately. Then copy this, open the draw.io app, find the right form to open the file, then paste the URL or path and click to open it.
