File links in CounterCulture pretty much gone

It used to be that if you used Internet Explorer or older versions of Edge, you could click on a file link in CounterCulture (e.g. to a file in the K: drive) to open it. This didn’t work in other browsers.

The latest version of Edge no longer supports this function. Internet Explorer still lurks on your machine, but it is old, insecure, and largely unsupported. At some stage it will probably disappear.

Because of this, it is probably now best to put the file path to the file in full – by all means create a link as well, but having the file path means we can navigate to find it.

One thought on “File links in CounterCulture pretty much gone”

  1. I’ve found though, if the correct link (e.g. from Word via the File menu) is put in as text, I can successfully copy-paste it into the browser address box (Vivaldi I use or Chrome that I seldom do) to bring up the document straight off, and it saves lots of tedium!

    So if people want to keep doing that, I’d say please do!
