Unable to open urls in editor

#1

Hi,

I used to be able to do File -> Open File and paste in a URL. Sublime would http get the url and display the results in the editor.

Now when I try it I get “This function is not supported on this system”.

Not sure when this started. I’m using Build 3103 on Windows 7 professional.

Thanks,
Manish

Hi, does anyone else have the same issue? Or is it just me :slightly_smiling:

I had no idea this was possible :astonished:

I just tried it with build 3113 on Windows 7 x64 and after a 30 second delay, it worked. (I tried it with the URL of this forum post haha)

The same works in Notepad - it seems it is a feature of the Shell/Windows Explorer File Open Dialog, and not related to ST3.

TIL indeed.

The file gets saved to C:\Users\Fichte\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\Z0VTJGT7\19459[1], so definitely something provided by the OS instead of ST itself.

Also on Win7.

@manish.shah try clearing your temporary internet files and/or running ST3 as an administrator and see if that helps :slight_smile:

Hi all,

Running as administrator fixes it! Thanks very much!
