Hello,

I don't know if there is an answer about this already given, but i did not find anything about this.

So, i have Tutorials in html, pdf and txt files and would have it near the Content they are made for.
My thought is to make an Icon in the Content-folder that link to the Tutorial, so if i click on it the tutorial will open in the Editor/AdobeReader or IE.

Is there a way to make links to Files and have them near the Content and if yes, how to do that?

Thanks a lot

Yandris

    DAZ Studio will only 'see' files that are in DS format inside DAZ Studio. It will not see text files or HTML files.

    You can add a folder to your content, say, 'Text Files' , and you can then right-click on that folder and use the 'Browse to folder location..' option. You can then open the files in that folder in whatever program you choose.

    Hello,

    that's not the answer i'd like to get.
    But i have also Content where are Helpfiles included, but These are Links to the Internet. I have my Tutorials Offline in one Folder and all i want to have is a Link to that Offline Tutorial.
    I think there will be an solution, because the Online-Link will also work.

    In the Script-File there is the Line:
    App.OpenLink ("http:\\www.xyz.com")
    But if i Change the Link "http:\\www.xyz.com" to something like "C:\My Tutorials") it wont work.
    I Think there must be somethink like:
    App.OpenFile or App.Open to get this work.
    The Script is an DAZ-Format in this way, and the Script should only open the File.

    I remember that i had this script to open any filetype a Long time ago, i think it was in DAZ Version 2.2 or 1.8.

    Someone out there who can tell me good News ???

    I am sure it can be done with a script, but you never mentioned using script files?

    I am sure Richard can help if you just hang on a while.

    Download the DS4.5 SDK (Script Developers Kit) and Use the Command List to find the proper code needed for your Scripts.

    This should work for most file types :
    App.showURL( "file://C:/folder/file.ext" );
