Unable to grant permission to view relative links

[r4dian]

• Open a file with a relative link in, in this case its :file:./python-matplot-fig.png
• Choose the option grant access
• Navigate to the folder that contains the file in question (or any folder above it in the tree)
• Use "use this folder" button
• Click "allow"

Expected result : Now the file is visible in the Orgo app

Actual result : The file doesn't load, the user is shown the same prompt

Thing	Version
OS	Android
Android	12
Orgo	latest off f-Droid, about screen just says "dev"

Thanks for the report. It sounds like you're doing everything right; the thing that jumps out to me is that the files are stored in Nextcloud. I signed up for and downloaded Nextcloud, and was able to reproduce the issue.

I don't know yet if they're doing something wrong, or if I am.

With a debug build I see the problem:

It appears that Nextcloud doesn't support DocumentsContract.findDocumentPath. This method is needed in order to resolve relative paths.

So while you can successfully grant access to a Nextcloud directory, that access doesn't allow resolving relative paths, which is why Orgro still prompts you to grant permission.

I don't think there's anything I can do about this, unless I have overlooked something in my implementation of path resolving that would allow me to eliminate calls to findDocumentPath (and any other methods not supported by Nextcloud).

[amake]

Actually I did have an alternate method of path resolving meant for older OSs. It's slow and it doesn't allow referencing parent directories (..) but it will allow siblings and lower. I will put out a fix soon.

[amake]

This will be addressed in v1.26.0, which should hit the beta test channels soon:

• iOS
• Android

However even with that solved, I see that Nextcloud seems to have some issues with persistent access to files: trying to visit a previously opened file from the Orgro top screen will fail after a while.

[r4dian]

Little extra info, although it seems you've figured it out :

If I go in nextcloud app and select the org file - > open with... - > Orgo then it doesn't ask for permissions in Orgo but where the image would be is a message "can't resolve path relative to document"

[amake]

If I go in nextcloud app and select the org file - > open with... - > Orgo

On Android this results in an extremely limited form of access that doesn't allow resolving against directory permissions.

[amake]

v1.26.1 is now available through all channels.

Please reopen if the issue persists.
