Microsoft OneDrive Direct File Download URL Maker

I get asked all the time to by my clients to provide a way to direct download URL to a file and NOT preview the file, especially if the file is large. It's often very confusing for novice users to have preview mode of file, such as PDF files which launch a separate user interface. Moreover, if the file is over 100Mb, the preview appears too slowly for most users, and they'll abandon the file.

So I came up with this mini "App", it takes a OneDrive Share Link and returns the direct download URL for that file.

Enjoy! The original download maker since 2014.

How does 'Convert to ANSI' and ANSI Encoding function work in Notepad++

What is the difference between function 'Convert to ANSI' and selecting ANSI character set for a file? 

Let's start with an example; ᒋ Inuktitut symbol for 'gi'. The hexacimal representation of ᒋ is e1 92 8b opened in FRHED a free hex editor.

The 'Convert to ANSI' actually reduces the character set to fit within the ANSI range of 0-256 characters. ANSI encompasses on the upper end the Latin-1 Supplement plane to handle some established European languages. 

So, characters greater than decimal 256 or 0x3f in hexadecimal are converted to a question mark (?).

When you 'Convet to ANSI' on gi, it became a question mark 0x3f in hex. In Notepad++ you see a question mark as well. 

Select Encoding -> ANSI, does not change the values, just how they are displayed in Notepad++.
