SingleFile does not work on Android Microsoft Edge at all #1470

Closed NilsHoyer closed 2 weeks ago

NilsHoyer commented 3 months ago

I've installed "Edge Canary" on my Android device. Inside the settings, "Information about Edge" I taped several times to the version information, until the "Developer" features are enabled.

Now, inside the Settings, there was a new entry at the bottom: "Developer options", which allows to "Install Extensions by Id". On this way, I installed SingleFile.

After this, nothing happens, if I select the SingleFile extension inside the Extension menu of Edge.

... indeed, I don't know if this is a problem of SingleFile or of Edge Canary, which is a preview with the new feature to use extension at all.

I didn't know Microsoft was working on extension support for Edge on Android. That's great news :).

I can confirm, however, that I'm reproducing the problem you described. I did a debugging session with the Android emulator on my machine. It seems that clicking on the SingleFile entry in Edge doesn't trigger the corresponding code which is an unexpected behavior. Maybe it's a temporary bug in Edge.

... or Microsoft don't know about this issue and would be happy if you report it?

gildas-lormeau commented 3 months ago

I can't say with 100% certainty that the bug is in Edge. For that, I'd have to code a test extension isolating the bug.

Edit: In fact, there's no point, they don't have a public bug tracker, unlike Google, Mozilla and Apple.

For the record, the same issue has been reported here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1bp429e/comment/l4zbvh6

I'm closing this issue because it's not a bug in SingleFile. Feel free to comment it if needed though.

Btw: Edge Canary for Android saves web pages in a single file too. But it does not use an extension of the filename and the content of the files remembers me to the file format of eMails. Maybe you are interested about this. If not, please excuse me to mention this.

@NilsHoyer Thank you for the info. The page is actually saved in MHTML, which is the "single file format" used in Chromium-based browsers generally speaking.

@gildas-lormeau: Thanks a lot for this hint. Now I can open this files on my desktop computer and I'm happy about that. 😀
