Opening notes via File Manager

[octvs]

Hey @tibbi,

I just started using this app. I have some local notes that I have synchronization in place. App serves my purpose quite well when I open these via "Open file" in the app. It offers me two options (shortly) "in-place", "deep-copy". I can choose "in-place" and my use-case is resolved.

I was looking around how to make this workflow simpler. Rather have access to my notes directory easily. Two ways to achieve this: 1) Expecting notes app to be aware of the dir structure of a root notes app. As described by another user on #9. 2) Have file manager to open the notes. The way you offered at #324.

In my opinion, 2) is a much better way to solve this since its file manager's duty to mess with the directory structure. And there is no point to re-invent wheel for each app.

My question/problem is when I open the note via Simple File Manager, it opens the file in the aforementioned "deep-copy" mode. Is there any way this behaviour to default to "in-place" somehow?

Thanks for the work!

the app has no storage access, it cannot scan folders

Scan folders?

I can already "Open file" in the app. I'm simply asking how to make that behaviour occur when I click on the note via file manager.

Did you try to mean that this issue belongs to the file manager repo?

[tibbi]

no, I misunderstood it. Anyway, it opens the by importing the content only, doesnt update the file itself. I want to rethink the whole importing part, it got quite messed up over time.

This is the way you advised it to be used. Is there any issue to follow this?

[tibbi]

not really, it cannot be followed
