If you use the storage button in the file open dialog, the request uses the mime type text/*, which is a request for any type of text file. Unfortunately, android file managers either use application/octet-stream, application/javascript, or nothing at all in the case of a Samsung file manager, rather than text/javascript, which would be more helpful. You can find out which by using the Intent Intercept app from F-Droid. If it is possible to share a file from Termux, that might be more useful. See #188.

i can open it with termux-open, but then i can't save it

billthefarmer commented 7 months ago

That's correct, however you can only set one mime type. You can have as many mime types as you like when indicating what sorts of files you can open.

ghost commented 7 months ago

did you mean you can't?

ghost commented 7 months ago

can you set it to '*' instead then?

You probably won't be able to save a file from Termux because it will probably be in the app's private storage. If you had read the thread I linked to, read the README, or looked at the closed issues you will see why I'm not changing the mime type.
