Sachhyam Hada 2022-02-18 Works very well, I've been looking for something like this for years and here it is!
HOTO 2022-01-14 doesn't work
Helvetica Free 2021-09-04 It is still trying to save a text file in a local folder. It should be pretty obvious that if you are opening a local folder, you already have it, so why the need to save it again ? It would be helpful to be able to tell the extension what to do with what kind of files, e.g. jpg... open in browser, txt... open in browser. mp3... run using ... program etc.
