Create notes that contain links to a local path

[laura]

Hi

 

I would like to write an standalone tool in order to add notes in ftrack for assetVersions. In the note , we would like to have a hyperlink to a local path. Is it possible?

 

Thanks,

Laura

Hi Laura,

 

At the moment it is not possible to link to local files in notes due to browser restrictions. What kind of tool are you building and what kind of file are you linking to?

Hi Carl,

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

We have a tool, for creating notes in FTrack for a specific assetVersion and we want to add the some paths into the note (psd filepath, jpeg files as references, etc), but NOT as attachments.

Ideally, we would like to store them as links inside of the note, so, the user can open them directly from the web browser. Now, this it's possible only if files are stored as attachments, which is not the best option for us.

 

Let me know if there are further questions.

 

Regards,

Laura
