On Firefox, after bypassing the ominous warnings, when I tried to create a new project and choose a directory to save the project files, I get
> Directory picker is not supported in this browser. Please use a modern browser like Chrome or Edge.
While I appreciate the early warning, so that the user doesn't spend too much effort only to later realize that they can't save their files to disk, I don't appreciate the implicit labeling of Firefox as not being a "modern" browser.
If you're developing a web app with APIs only available in certain browsers, just say/admit so.

- flowerthoughts 8mo agoThat's odd. File Sytem API seems mostly available in Firefox since 111. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System_API https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_System...
- pcbtracer 8mo agoThis document gives an overview of the many features of PCB Tracer. It is much more than a drawing program and is very data-rich. The software creates, reads and writes a number of different files. These include netlists, schematics, pdf datasheets, project files, project history, BOM, and PCB photos. https://pcbtracer.com/PCB_Tracer.html https://pcbtracer.com/PCB_Tracer.html
