feat: add view:// protocol for read-only file viewing#2
Merged
Conversation
Implemented a new view:// protocol that acts as a liberal wrapper for file viewing with the following features: - Opens text files in VSCode with preview mode (read-only) - Opens binary files (PDFs, images, videos, etc.) with system default viewer - Shows error if file doesn't exist (doesn't create files like edit://) - Supports both standard markdown [text](view://path) and wiki-style [[view:path]] syntax - Handles paths flexibly with spaces, special characters, URL encoding - Works across all platforms (macOS, Windows, Linux) Binary file extensions supported: PDF, PNG, JPG, GIF, SVG, MP4, MP3, ZIP, and more. Updated documentation: - README.md with protocol comparison table and usage examples - CHANGELOG.md with new features - AGENTS.md with manual testing guidelines - Added TEST-RESULTS.md with implementation details and test plan - Added test-view-protocol.md with comprehensive test cases - Added test files for validation https://claude.ai/code/session_015oy2Dj4RFQhfTwVKBPRFch
- Set active editor to read-only via setActiveEditorReadonlyInSession (VS Code 1.79+) with graceful fallback for older versions - Add tests for view:// link detection (standard and wiki-style syntax) - Add test for view:// hover provider support - Remove committed test artifacts (TEST-RESULTS.md, test-view-protocol.md, test-files/) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
