Not able to save edited markdown files

App Version: 2.1.6 Android 6.0.1

I installed the "Writer Plus" app to edit Markdown files in Seafile. When i click the pencil in Seafile to edit a file (i.e. test.md), Writer Plus opens a "New Document" and i'm unable to save this file back to Seafile.

Similar problem here. Works great for .txt files, but .md can't be edited on android.

I think the only good solution is a integrated text editor with markdown support...

Ted has the same issue with the following error. Unable to open file, URI invalid

This is a difficult issue to work around, since I mostly use Seadroid to sync markdown files.

Android completely destroyed the file APIs The introduced some "security" models and want the devs to support the content:// protocol (kind of like an in-app virtual file system; similar to FUSE but per-app). Even if you implement the content:// stuff still a lot of things break. Seafile had an internal file editor once, but it was removed in favour of content:// integration and other stuff that does not really work. Internal editor for text files (any extension) with markdown support (like the seafile webinterface) and a proper file sync (like syncthing) are the two things seafile on android is missing.
