Bug description
I started an .md file there I wanted to collect links. During this I notice that nextcloud for some reason sometimes on instagram links pulls preview from instagram and puts it in without any possibility to remove it (except removing the link). To mitigate that I thought I just change it into a txt file instead of md. But that deleted the whole text and created an empty text file. I now have to write everything again...
Steps to reproduce
- Create md file
- write something
- change .md into .txt
- this produces an empty text file with everything written previously being deleted without any warning
Expected behavior
Just change the .md to plain text OR at least give a WARNING before deleting everything.
