Open folder on android

Open faldor20 opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'd like to be able to edit org files that i sync from my computer to my phone

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like to be able to select a local folder on android to store my notes in

Describe alternatives you've considered Not syncing my notes I guess? or just waiting till your custom sync solution is done

Additional context This project looks very cool and I'm excited to see where it goes :)

Thank you for the proposal! I think it will be the next global feature. It will not be the fast cause of some reason (i plan to add not just a method for syncing from a folder, I would like to add public API for extensions for syncing).

In addition, I need to implement gpg encryption API for external sync methods.

Hi! Currently, I'm using syncthing along with orgzly, and after seeing your package, I'm planning to transition to OrgNote. Would it be simpler to just be able to scan a folder? I'm willing to study the code to make a PR, should this be implemented as a plugin?

Hi, first of all I would like to thank you for your interest in the project and contribution, it's very important, I really appreciate it!

I haven't used syncthing, by scanning a directory do you mean physically opening it on the device?

If so, I've already started working on functionality to synchronize files via the file system. I'm afraid it's not possible to do this as an extension right now.

Unfortunately I made an architectural mistake during development, I will have to fix it in the next release and add file system synchronization on mobile devices.

Support for android/ios/desktop file system and synchronization with them I plan to complete this year. Also a new api will be provided to work with file systems regardless of environment.

Thank you, for all the effort! Yes, I meant to open a file on the device, or maybe import all the files that are on a directory. Please tell me whenever you find something easy to delegate. Whatever it is, code or write some docs to make the structure easier to understand and reach more contributors.

The latest release includes partial support for synchronization via the file system. This is still a very crude solution that only supports synchronization of notes. Please make a backup of your data before testing 🙏🏻.
