FileBot Node opens in a new tab on DSM 7.2

[rednoah]

Starting with DSM 7.2, 3rd party applications can no longer appear as a window inside the DSM WebUI Desktop:

Dear Customer,


Thank you for your patience over the weekend. I hope you had a good rest.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but after double-checking with our developer, we regret to inform you that the legacy is not supported since DSM7.2 due to security concerns.

The parameter type=legacy has also been removed from our new document. We encourage you to refer to our new document at https://help.synology.com/developer-guide/.

I understand that this change may cause inconvenience to the FileBot Node users. Therefore, I have raised this feature request to our developer.

Our developers will discuss how to add the feature back while also taking security into consideration.

Although we cannot guarantee the release date/version of adding the feature back, we still recommend you try to open FileBot Node through a new tab as an alternative.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any assistance.

I am always happy to help you in any way that I can.

Thank you!





Sincerely,
Synology Technical Support

Thanks for the info. It's been driving me crazy. Now I know why.

Yet they allow it for their own Download Station and other programs...

Woooo. Your new Filebot 0.4.5 resolves the limitation. It now opens as a window. Thank you!

Yep, while displaying an URL in an iframe is no longer a built-in feature, writing an ExtJS UI (i.e. same framework that Synology apps use) that simply generates an iframe element, seems to work just fine, no "security limitations" as far as I can tell.
