Hi 
Is it possible to open a external software on your computer through Bubble io?
Example: We have some images we like to open in a 3D program like Rhino? Is it possible through Bubble.

@martinskaarup1, this might be possible using @tim12333 plugin Deskifier. Using this plugin your Bubble App will function as a desktop app and is f.i. able to access files on your desktop. Starting other programs might also be possible / or it probably can be made possible.

Thanks!
I will try it!
Are there any alternatives to Deskifier i should check out?
Kind of… but it’s more about the users’ operating system than this being a Bubble-specific problem. If you know the exact OS, device types, specs, and that the application is definitely installed on every users’ device you can try creating a link to the software’s install location on the user’s local machine. Check out: windows - How to launch an application from a browser? - Stack Overflow
Alternatively, if the user has the application set as the default program to open up a specific file type, the software will launch if they click to download that hosted file. Works the same as opening a mailto: link.
