External Links Dialog Box

Post by Ringo »

Greetings & "Merry Christmas" to the Atlantis Team,

I have been using Atlantis for a little over a year now and the more I use it, the more I like it. I recently created a file to be used as a program launcher for my removable media drive on which I have Atlantis and some other applications and files stored. The fact that Atlantis can use relative links works wonderfully since I never know what drive letter will be assigned to my removable drive on the various computers I plug into. However, each time I click a link to an external file the following dialog box pops up:

------------
"Confirm" dialog box

Opening - External File.ext

Some files can contain viruses or otherwise be harmful to your computer.
It is important to be certain that this file is from a trustworthy source.

Would you like to open this file?

Yes No
------------

Is there a way to prevent this dialog box from popping up? And if not, could this option be implemented in a future version? The way it works now is fine, but it would be nice to eliminate the additional mouse clicks, especially when I know these files are safe to open.

Thanks for all your wonderful work on Atlantis...

...Ringo

Atlantis displays this message when you click a hyperlink associated with a local file on your HDD.

If this local file is a document supported by Atlantis (RTF, DOC, COD, WRI, TXT), and the “Open hyperlinks to supported documents in Atlantis” option (Tools | Options, Load/Save) is checked, Atlantis does not display this message.

Atlantis also does not display this message for hyperlinks associated with files with any of the following file extensions:

ani
avi
bmp
cur
emf
gif
htm
html
ico
jpg
mp3
mpeg
mpg
pcd
pcx
png
tga
tif
wav
