A question for the Blot cognoscenti.

Is there an easy way that when you see a page rendering on your blot site - you can quickly find and open the original file on dropbox?

@JohnPhilpin if you find away to do this, I’d love to know. This would be awesome.

@JohnPhilpin @kordumb For me, the URI is the file name. So I can just take that and search for that name in Dropbox. But an automated way would be beneficial. Hmmm.

@amit @kordumb

The Oracle has spoken, David replies as follows;

Yes! I use this all the time. Append the query string ?source=true to the post's URL

You'll be redirected to the source file.

BRILLIANT

If only MB had something that simple !

@JohnPhilpin awesome, thanks John.

@JohnPhilpin Ok nice, thank you John! 👍

@amit @humdrum

Read on … David as taken it the next level.

@JohnPhilpin whoah! Yes, I would love to get this as well. I’ll shoot you an email.

@humdrum @pimoore @pratik

Try this

LMK if probs .. will Endeavour to send email with more instructions if needed.

@pratik @pimoore @humdrum

just sent a text file to your email

@humdrum - need your email to do that

@pratik to all intents and purposes for me it does button to open in text pad - make changes - save - just same experience. Would Dropbox paper help?

@pratik yes I see that prompt sometimes but not always … in the script there is the path .. have you tried hard coding it?

@pratik

A screen shot of what I see when I get to the file …. hihlighting where the setting is.

Any help?

@pratik whatever latest of production for osx and chrome - but also see it in safari .. I think it is delivered by dropbox
