It's a bit
strange that Marked cannot handle these. Now I have to switch to
the Byword preview to open files/folders. Even more strange is the
fact that Marked can open links to Mail messages.</p></div>Wim Verhaverttag:support.markedapp.com,2011-09-11:Comment/138490582012-10-19T17:19:00Z2012-10-19T17:19:00ZUsing "file:///" links in Marked<div><p>It was in an effort to allow wiki-like interlinking that I made
Marked handle file:// links internally. I can't have it both ways,
though. I'm debating whether the wiki idea is ever going to reach
fruition, so this is one more vote to have it just open those links
with the system.</p></div>Bretttag:support.markedapp.com,2011-09-11:Comment/138490582012-10-24T00:08:30Z2012-10-24T00:08:31ZUsing "file:///" links in Marked<div><p>Hi Brett,</p>
<p>Cool idea re the wiki-interlinking. I wonder if this could still
work by using relative URLs for Wiki-style links, e.g., "<a href=
"pages/page.md">Another page</a>" could follow a link within
Marked, whereas <a>A file</a> would pass on opening the file to the
file-system. Just an idea, I guess as a user that would be my
expectation of how each type of link would work.</p>
<p>Thanks again for all your great work!</p>
<p>Best,<br>
-Roben</p></div>Roben Kleenetag:support.markedapp.com,2011-09-11:Comment/138490582012-10-24T00:11:05Z2012-10-24T00:11:06ZUsing "file:///" links in Marked<div><p>Oops, I forgot to escape my links, the first one was

often store Word/Excel files in an assets folder and link from my
notes, it's annoying that Marked.app doesn't support this (it's one
area where the built-in preview in nvALT is better!)</p></div>Tomtag:support.markedapp.com,2011-09-11:Comment/138490582013-06-13T23:36:41Z2013-06-13T23:36:42ZUsing "file:///" links in Marked<div><p>Just wanted to add my support for adding <a>file:///</a> support

<p>Excellent app. Love it!</p></div>Paultag:support.markedapp.com,2011-09-11:Comment/138490582014-01-20T17:01:31Z2014-01-20T17:01:33ZUsing "file:///" links in Marked<div><p>Please add my vote to the <a>file:///</a> support request
list.</p>
<p>In an another attempt to escape bloated word processors, I'm
experimenting to see whether markdown can be my main document
format. I frequently have to include references to other documents,
which need not be types handled by Marked. Seems sensible to me
that Marked should pass file types it doesn't recognise to the
system for opening by default application for the type, as does
Safari. I think its a bit unkind to hit me with a modal dead end
"Rich Text Fail" window when I reference an rtf file.</p>
<p>Apart from that, great app!</p></div>Torsten Loulandtag:support.markedapp.com,2011-09-11:Comment/138490582014-01-22T02:36:48Z2014-01-22T02:36:48ZUsing "file:///" links in Marked<div><p>I'm thinking I'll make it so that the first time an unrecognized
file is<br>
opened, it asks you if you want to open it in an external
application,<br>
with a "never ask again" checkbox. From that point on, if the
source of<br>
the request came from within the document, it would just pass it
through<br>
to the system.</p>

easier, why not pass unknowns through straight away, then when time
permits add maintainance and use of a table of extension aliases in
the preferences, as in: handle ".xyz123" as ".md", etc. Cheers,
