Do you mean that nothing happens when you press the "Browse" button or that you can't pick the file using the file browser?

[tonhou]

Cannot pick the file. The file browser works but no todo.txt can be found/seen.

There's a known bug in file picker where it fails to pick files from some locations on Android 10 (like 'Documents'). But in that case the app should show error message at the bottom of the screen: Error: Can not get file path.

[tonhou]

No error message.

By default pressing "Browse" goes to:

Android/data/im.mindstream.mobile/cache/http

The only file in that folder is:

"journal"

You can create an empty todotxt file somewhere and then open it with the app.

But if you want to find the file created by the app, that might not be possible in file browser (apparently the file browser can't show it because accessing application data folder requires root permissions).

[tonhou]

Yes, that works.

Is it possible for app to save outside of root so todo.txt is accessible? Also is it possible that the "Plain text" page under the menu might be selectable to copy?

Thanks for your direction.

The app I find most satisfactory.

Yes. I'll fix this in the next release.

I'll have a look to see if that's possible.

@tonhou 1.6.0 has been released. The text at "plain text" page is selectable now.
