Hi Don,
Just noticed:
.url files created by draggin the url from the browser into XY are invalid when trying to open by double click (with browser).
If I drag them into Windows Explorer then the created .url file works fine.
Regards, S.

Depends. Here they work fine.
- Which browser is that?
- Can you show the contents of such a file?

Re: created .url files are invalid
interesting. it seems to depend on the website. if i try this forum, it works fine.
here is an example that does not work:
https://communitytalks.getopensocial.co ... ial-manual
the not working .url file is in the attached zip.
BTW: The browser is FF.

Re: created .url files are invalid
Interesting indeed. I have two files, one created here, one from your zip. The contents are 100% identical, the names are 100% identical, the ownership is also shown as identical (I am the owner). None of the 300+ shell properties differ. Yet, when I double-click your file I see this:
Also when I make a copy of the file and rename it, I still get this prompt.
Totally weird.
Maybe Alternate Data Streams?
PS: Both files have a
The shown filename is wrong: "Open Social Manual Community Talks_url" (there is no "_url"). The correct filename is "Open Social Manual Community Talks.url" of course.Also when I make a copy of the file and rename it, I still get this prompt.

PS: Both files have a
:Zone.Identifier:$DATA
stream, but both streams are identical as well:

Re: created .url files are invalid
Don, thank you for looking into this.
Today, I tried it again, and now it works without problems.
Same browser, same folder location, I just updated XY over night but I can't imagine that that would be the issue.
Either way, problem disappeared. If it should reemerge, I might write again.
Thank you, S.

Re: created .url files are invalid
Did you also get this prompt before?

Re: created .url files are invalid
it becomes even more weired.
when I start it from a normal folder, I do get that same prompt.
but when I start it from a virtual folder / drive, created by cryptomator, then I do not get that prompt.
the .url file in the zip was also created by the url being pulled into that virtual folder.
