Description

We use a tool called MountainDuck to mount Arvados Collections to the local computers of users. Doing the mounting is for non-technical users a bit tedious and therefore we are looking to optimise this with a convenient functionality inside the workbench.

Workbench2 supports custom file viewers, however these work with urls. What we would need somehow is a custom action for collections (and later also for projects) to generate a XML file with the extension '.duck' and download them. The user would be able to open them which creates the bookmark to the collection (or project.

The basic structure of this file is outlined here:


<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd&quot;>
<plist version="1.0">

<key>Protocol</key>
<string>davs</string>
<key>Provider</key>
