Point a plugin into to a local file This should have been easy. But, I am dorking something up.

I am trying to point FeedMe to a local file.

In Finder, the file is located under /Users/shellyar/Desktop.  I also tried `file:////Users/shellyar/Desktop'.  Neither worked.
This is fixed in 3.0.0-beta.10. Additionally you can use the concept of aliases in your URL for all sorts of variables:

@web/assets/data/clients.xml

Which would be related to your web root.
