| Links to non .pur files open files instead of folders 2024-05-12 19:56 |
If browse button was used to select folder, then click on link will open the folder. If was selected a file, then file.
It would be very convenient if near the browse button would be a relocation check mark which would relocate the selected file to a folder near .pur file. With the same name as .pur canvas.
Also, for example. I have test5.pur file and near it test5 folder with 1.txt file. I want to add \1.txt to address and receive a link which lead to 1.txt file from test5 folder.
When pureref has tabs, it would be very convenient if opening of main .pur file will open in tabs all sub .pur files from main canvas subfolder.

Thanks for the suggestions! To make these changes the link probably needs a bunch of settings since we can see the need for both behaviors. Or maybe it should be possible to right click a link?

We'll try to fix this in an upcoming version! It should be ./1.txt or just 1.txt though as / means root on non windows platforms.

As I see it. Insert link have 3 browse buttons.
1. First create links to folders, as now. Such links created as bold.
2. The second create links to files. Both links open by Ctrl + click. But Ctrl + Shift + click on a file link opens its folder. The same with Ctrl + mouse wheel click. Settings have option for opening any links by click without Ctrl.
3. The third browse button show .pur subfolder and create .\ links to its files. If a folder is absent - button create it. Such links created as italic or have at beginning > symbol.
Text menu also have two new buttons. First open in Windows explorer .pur subfolder. And second - all .pur files in its subfolder. When PureRef will have tabs - in tabs.
This will create a basic hierarchical structure and allow using the main .pur file as index for project catalog files.
Right click on link redundant and will disrupt current simple and fast workflow.

Why not both? Shown by default ./ will accustom users to subfolder functionality, and possibility to use just file names will be better for usability.

We can detect what the link is for so it's probably a bit redundant to have multiple browse buttons, but being able to open a file by click and open its location with shift+click should be doable, we'll see if it can be done in a good way.
Not exactly sure what you mean by the last question but yes, both "./1.txt" and "1.txt" will work, but not "/1.txt".

Selection of file from subfolder generating ./1.txt link. To differentiate .pur subfolder from other folders.
But when writing link by themselves, users could use as ./1.txt as well as 1.txt options.
