I know this issue already exists, but it's locked, so...

In chrome://extensions, there is a toggle for allowing extensions access to file:/// urls.

Is it possible to let the extension try to access the file:/// urls?

I believe as a user you'd have to select files or a directory using a "Browse..."-like interface.

This is a very different approach than the file name pattern approach currently used. file:// uris would require a different UI to define reload rules. So don't expect anything on the short term.

If browsers (Firefox and Chrome) start allowing file system access to web extensions using the permission system instead of a browser setting, I will rewrite the plugin to use that.
