Chrome Extension - File Download Content Copier

This extension captures file downloads and allows the user to copy the content to their clipboard. Is only activated if the activated switch is turned on in the extension popup. The user can also select which file types to block and copy the content.

Installing the extension

  1. Clone the repository or download the zip, and extract it
  2. In any chromium based browser, navigate to the 'Manage Extensions' page
  3. Find the 'load unpacked' button (You may need to enable developer mode for this to appear)
  4. Click the 'load unpacked' button and select the repository folder, or unzipped folder

This should install the extension.

Usage

The extension will only work on a page if it has been activated for that page. To activate it, click on the extension icon in the extensions dropdown to show the popup. Here you can activate the extension for the current page. You can also choose which file types you would like the extension to block and copy the content. On submission of this form, it will be saved for this host. Now any downloads of the selected types will be blocked and the contents shown in the popup.

To copy the content, open the extension popup and it will be shown in the text area. Here you can edit the text if you would like, and then copy the content by clicking the copy button.
