.MD-files greyed out. #71

Closed NitroNils closed 5 years ago

NitroNils commented 5 years ago

I was so excited to see a new update, I've been a fan for years! Tried to find a changelog (failed) and read it could open markdown in a browser!

So I tried opening .md-files, but they were greyed out (using the built-in framework).

Is it so that we can write md's, but not open them?

how to open md?

Android 6.1 Huawei p8 Lite

The built in file picker/file manager is part of android, not the app. See #60, #45. Unfortunately it doesn't think .md files are text files. If you install a different file manager such as OI File Manager, it will let you open any sort of file.

Thank you, that makes it clear.

And your tip did not fool me into installing a bloated file browser, but promted me to import .md via the superior Ghost Commander, dual-pane file manager

billthefarmer commented 5 years ago

Well that's interesting. The reason it's not as bloated is because they use proguard to compress it. I used to use Norton Commander back in the DOS days when it was about the only thing available.

Oh, is that common? It should be, I suppose!

The mother of two-pane! Norton.

I've fiddled with Midnight Commander on workstation. Ranger too. Next up is the ed(1)-based one (as well as edbrowse a web browser w/ ed-interface (js-included).

ed(1) and editor are my two fav ones.

Enjoy the farming😃
