Percent decoding of file names takes place even if the filename doesn't come from the URL

Hi,

Love to try organize! I tried to connect to Dropbox (Android) but it failed. Now I just get a blank screen when I try to reconnect and a pop-up that says connection failed.

Any hints?

Thanks, Henrik

Hi,

What does the pop-up exactly say? I darkly remember similar symptoms. We can look up the exact error message in the closed issues here.

Did you try also on a desktop PC? Does it work there?

Hi there

thank you for the report. A console log output would be very helpful. Generally speaking, logging in to Dropbox works. I just tried it, again: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g55m70qmbpqp2zb/Video%2017.10.22%2C%2009%2027%2041.mp4?dl=0

Kind regards

Hi,

Yes, the log in seems to have worked. I got a message from Dropbox that organice was authorized.

The popup says:

organice.200ok.ch says There was an error retrieving your files!

I can get to a page that says "You don't have any file settings - add one by pressing the + button", but there is no + button.

I haven't done any developing for android, but if you tell me how to get the log I'd be happy to do submit it!

Tried on my laptop, but it gives the same result. Is there a special place where the org files have to be on the Dropbox?

In the desktop PC browser, press F12 (or menu -> dev tools); then, the error log should show up. It should look similar like in the screenshots of this issue: #848

Hi,

It appears to have to do with a percent sign in one of the directories in my Dropbox:

Pathname "/files/Katt Hernandez 50% Seminar" could not be decoded. This is likely caused by an invalid percent-encoding.

Is it possible to connect organice to the specific directory that contains the org files rather than the entire structure? I can probably get rid of this directory though.

[friskgit]

After removing that directory it works. For some reason I still can't see all of the .org files in the file settings dialog though. I see some, and if I open a sub directory within my org files directory, I can see the org files there. The log does not show anything

Regarding this original issue, I can confirm the bug. (mkdir ~/Dropbox/'test%')

I get this error even if I didn't try to show test%s content or a file in it. Maybe the percent decoding is done in the wrong place. It should be done only right after grabbing the file path from the URL.

URIError: Pathname "/files/test%" could not be decoded. This is likely caused by an invalid percent-encoding.
