This is unclear. Do you mean that you can process a something.svx file
from a URL on the expo website (by double-clicking on it?)
e.g.: https://expo.survex.com/repositories/loser/.git/tree/caves-1623/291/gsh4.svx?h=post-2023
but you can't right-click on a file on your computer and select 'process' (or 'view')?

You mean that if you copy (for example gsh4.svx above) to your
computer. You can't double-click on it or right-click -> 'process' or
'view' it?

What happens if you try that?

I think we will need slightly more explicit details about what you did
and didn't do, to get to the bottom of it.
