After phone wipe, connectbot will no longer import keys #189

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
After a phone (G1) wipe and reload, and reinstallation of connectbot, the 
program will no longer import new keys (though it will generate new ones 
of its own).  The private key in question is on the SD card as always, but 
when the import key function is used the system text editor opens!  I've 
found no way around this so far, and viewing the key in the text editor is 
merely frustrating.

I suppose you installed a file manager? Which one?

Hmm.  I have several, but most recent was ASTRO.  I have the Linda File Manager 
in 
there also.  Thanks.

I should add, I don't have to import many keys, so if there's a practical 
workaround 
so I can get my current key in, that would be a big help.  Thanks.

I have now removed my two file managers, removed connectbot, wiped all 
connectbot 
data, and reinstalled connectbot.  It still goes directly to the text editor 
whenever I try use the "import keys" function.

If you're using the development versions, you can try r368 or older. I added 
support
for OpenIntents File Manager and AndExplorer for picking keys to import at that 
revision.

In the latest dev version, I commented out the OpenIntents and related code, 
and put 
back the simple file picker as a default and recompiled.  Problem solved for 
now, 
but something is clearly interacting badly with OpenIntents.  

Thanks.

Did your file have a .txt extension or something similar?

Negative.  Extension is "k1".

I'll do some more testing with those file managers. That is certainly naughty 
behavior.

I couldn't reproduce this with a couple different handsets. I'll just chalk it 
up to
strange file manager behavior.
