Hello everyone,
I am testing the NextCloud product for the first time. Iām running NC v11.0.1, using an external storage (swift) as my Primary Storage. Iāve installed some Apps: Markdown Editor and Keeweb (on top of the original Text Editor).
When opening a MD or kdbx file with a freshly āenabledā app, the file opens in the browser fine. After a couple tries, the kdbx file is downloaded instead and the MD file is opened in the regular text editor or downloaded. If I disable the app and re-enable it, it starts to work againā¦ for a couple triesā¦ and the problem comes back.
During my test, Iāve also noticed that I had a couple MD files to cover multiple scenarios (e.g. empty file, some with actual content, etc.) and all the files would not open the same way: e.g. one would open in the Markdown Editor and another one in the regular Text Editor.
I couldnāt find any setting for the filetype/app association. I have found another similar case (Keeweb app is downloading kdbx file instead of opening in browser?), but disabling/enabling the app seems to have worked for the guy. In my case, it works only for a couple triesā¦
Anyone with similar issues!?
Thanks!
Ciao,
I donāt know the specific problem, but keep in mind that NC is a client-server service used with a internet browser.
Itās up to the browser choose what to do with file opened with the mouse-click, so in this case I would try different browser to find out where the problem is (client side or server side)
Hello,
Iām sorry but I donāt agree with you. The provided apps are NOT browser-apps. They are simply JavaScript code (e.g. The text editor) that is being run when clicking the file. When there is āno matching appā, then it should simply proceed with the download, which is THEN managed by the browser itself. It is up the NC to wither launch a script OR proceed with the download by providing a link to the browser.
Regards,

Actually, I agree with you 
So you should check the log server, looking for some warning in apache or PHP log
(if you have activated them).
Itās really a strange behaviour.
Iāve done some tests today and found that:
When opening a kdbx (KeeWeb), I get one of the two cases:
"GET /remote.php/webdav/test1.kdbx HTTP/1.1"
"GET /index.php/apps/keeweb/config?file=/test.kdbx HTTP/1.1"
In the working case, there are some more requests (after) since it must generate some views and allā¦
As you can guessā¦ the ātest1.kdbxā is being downloaded and 'test.kdbx" is being opened in KeeWeb app. What I donāt get is āwhat determines what link is going to be āusedā?ā
For the Mardown issue, both files (āanother.mdā not opening as a MD and āmarkdown.mdā opening as a MD):
"GET /index.php/apps/files_texteditor/ajax/loadfile?filename=another.md&dir=%2F HTTP/1.1"
āGET /index.php/apps/files_texteditor/ajax/loadfile?filename=markdown.md&dir=%2F HTTP/1.1ā
I set the logs for nextcloud to ādebugā and ā¦ nothingā¦ nothing more is generatedā¦ I make sure is was well activated by testing a āwrong passwordā and noticed a level 1 log (instead of only level 2+ logs)ā¦ but other than that, nothing is being generated from the appsā¦
any other advices?
I am having the same problem. I found it out once after I installed the next cloud with the .kdbx files. Turned out itās doing it with all files. Any help would be appreciated!
