Hi, We were unaware that this functionality is provided for Windows aswell as Mac, so we will look into whether this can be implemented. Do you have any links (eg. to Scrivener's documentation) or provide any extra information on how this functionality works? Jess
I'm using Scrivener 2.9.0.17 - the Beta 17 version of Scrivener 3 for Windows. The external link functionality appears to work pretty much as described in the Scrivener 3 documentation for Mac, section 10.1.6. The external links work when pasted into the Windows Run window. They also work when pasted into FreePlane. It also works from within a program I wrote, which simply calls the Window command line. Here's what the link text looks like: x-scrivener-item:///C:/Cookbook/Marketing Materials/Maat Publishing/Scrivener_Workshops/NHWP_Scrivener_Workshop_SNHU_2019-03-30 /NHWP_Scrivener_Workshop.scriv?id=2FAEF8AF-414C-4B34-A41F-D0A8054965A4 So I think Aeon Timeline just needs to pass the link to the Windows command line. In my program, written in Lazarus Pascal, the code uses a system component to execute the following: ans := Utf8ToAnsi(AURL); // utf8 must be converted to Windows Ansi-codepage Result := ShellExecute(0, nil, PAnsiChar(ans), nil, nil, SW_SHOWNORMAL) > 32; where AURL is the Scrivener external link. Hope that helps.
Hi, Thanks for that information, we will look into this for a future release. Jess
