Open URL from Open finder dialog?
Hello Everyone,
I am coming from the Windows world and making my transition to Mac. There is a feature in Windows that I use A LOT. I would like to see it on OSx but so far I cound't find anything like it. I am using OSx Mavericks.
Let's see if I can explain this clear enough...
In Windows I can copy an Image URL per example and paste into the Windows Explorer Open dialog box and it will open it on any program thus downloading it to a temporary place. I don't have to acctually download the file first and them open and/or upload anywhere. I can easily just paste the URL with an image, pdf or whatever file and it will open or directly upload anywhere I want.. (Screenshot with image below....)
In the example below. I am uploading a image to my Facebook timeline straight from an URL! On Windows I can use this same feature to open files directly from the internet within any application!
On the OSX Mavericks the closest thing I could find searching the web is the dialog below.... That DOES NOT work with URLs !!! It only works to open folders!
Can the Windows feature can acctually be done (replicated) on OSX or can it be implemented??
Thank you very much in advance for any light at the end of the tunnel!
Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
