It doesn't work with local files.

It just doesn't download anything when used with local html files.
Facing the same issue
Hey all - you'll want to use the chrome extension for capturing local files
Please feel free to reopen this if that does not work for you
@steve8708 I'm using the chrome extension and have the same issue. For local html files opened in the browser the chrome extension simply says "Done" and doesn't download a figma .json file
Same here.
I tested this as I wanted to easily screencap a HTML mail from Outlook.
However it wasn't related to the special format (*.mht) or that I was relying on Edge.
It was just related to the fact, that the extension can't be used with local files;
possibly a security safeguard that applies to everyone?
I worked around it by using a local http server (I opted for https://www.uwamp.com/ )
@steve8708 Normal GitHub users can't reopen this issue BTW; we could only repost it ;-)
ah! thanks @valioDOTch, reopenning
yeah for anyone interested - in the interim before we find a fix here, a local HTTP server should really help. I often use http-server for this
so if your file is something like site/page.html
assuming you have nodejs installed, from your terminal you can just run
npx http-server ./site
and then that'll host your local file(s) on http://localhost:8080/page.html
and then you can use the chrome extension against that URL
hope this helps!
