Extension Usage Instructions

                        Currently, this changes the following:
	• Fixes clickable height of "Back to" link.
	• Adds links to table name cells so that they can be middle- and right-clicked to open in new tabs.
	• Adds button to scans to copy a file name. This also automatically replaces Windows invalid characters (refer to https://mythofechelon.co.uk/blog/2020/3/6/how-to-work-around-windows-restricted-characters).
	• Makes scan and vulnerability table columns more space efficient by decreasing the width of some and removing redundant ones.
	• Moves notifications so that individual or multiple notifications don't block the buttons or sub-buttons.
	• Removes maximum width limitation on scan title headings.
	• Increases width of scan configuration input fields.
	• Enables resizing of textareas.

By default, only works with the URL https://localhost:8834/ because using broader permissions requires manual reviewing which increases the publishing time enormously (from minutes to days or even weeks). If you use a custom URL (DNS name and/or port), do the following:
	1. Close all instances of Google Chrome. This writes the latest configurations.
	2. Edit the file "%localAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences"*. 
	3. Do a find-and-replace-all using the following parameters (including the quotation marks):
		• Find: "https://localhost:8834/*"
		• Replace with (option #1): "https://localhost:8834/*","https://YOUR_URL/*"
		• Replace with (option #2): "https://*:8834/*"

Last tested on Nessus Professional version 8.10.1 (latest as of 2020/06/25).

Changelog / version history is available at "%localAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\dbnnngkmpjaigkjjikdmihpocggbglgg\\notes\Version History.txt"*.

* The folder "Default" may be named something like "Profile 1" if you have multiple profiles.
