I need full path to file when file is opened. For example user open file.txt but it will be opened with notepad or other. But how to register "hook" from NPAPI plugin to get path to file and prevent opening in other program?

  • You need to add more detail; it's not at all clear from your question what you are trying to do. For instance, are you talking about downloaded files? Or are you trying to make a browser plugin that prevents anyone from opening any files on their machine? – smorgan May 26 '11 at 12:57
  • I need a browser plugin to prevent opening some files (like *.txt) on client machine and catch this file path. – Yura Rodchyn May 30 '11 at 18:33
  • yeah; you can't do that with a browser plugin. It might be possible to do with an extension. – taxilian May 31 '11 at 16:50

An NPAPI plugin doesn't sound like it's at all the right technology for what you want to do. Plugins are for running native in the context of a specific web page, whereas it sounds like you just want a local application that's registered with the OS as the handler of certain file types.
