Support "open with" functionality from the desktop #345
Comments
Same on Windows - assuming (without much actual knowledge) that you would need to add a program to the Windows Registry (or other Windows program list?) in order to make it accessible using Open with from File Explorer. It would be very useful to have that option, but not sure we want to "engage" with Windows internals because that would surely make the installation more complex. |
I will investigate this issue; not entirely sure this is possible as SCWB doesn't operate on JSON files automatically. This might work for SQLite files, I will look into it. @DennisClark Note that MacOS is liberal in "greying" out things. If you switch the dropdown box to all applications, it should un-grey everything. |
@MaJuRG Thanks for the tip about adjusting the dropdown box to all applications; that started up SCWB, although it simply presented the initial landing page. Thanks also for pointing out "open" (sqlite) vs "import" (json); I hope there is a solution! |
@DennisClark I would assume there is some way to do this; its a pretty common application and utils like VS code and atom.io do this as well. |

Working on a Mac, if I select a scan results JSON file in a Finder window, and then initiate the "Open With" option, I do not see ScanCode Workbench in the list of choices presented to me. if I then select the "Other..." option from that list, I get a dialog with all the available applications that I can try, but ScanCode-Workbench.app is greyed-out and I cannot choose it.
I think that it would be super-useful if I were able to open+import a JSON file directly from the desktop to ScanCode-Workbench, in this case using the Mac Finder. I am assuming (although I have not yet confirmed it) that I would have a similar experience using Windows or a LInux desktop and that support for those platforms would be great as well.
