Is there a way to open the windows NextCloud client as a “normal window”?
One that stays open when I change focus to a different application?
I’m trying to track some errors, but everytime I click on the message, a new browser tab is opened, and the NextCloud window dissapears.
I can’t copy the message to the clipboard either, so I have to memorize it and retype it.
That may be good practice for my memory, but I find it pretty tedious.
You can check the log of the Nextcloud client and then use a tool to watch this in real time (e.g. linux terminal tail -f).
Having a better UX for the GUI is better, but for that the best way is to make a suggestion on their bug tracker: https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/issues and wait for it to be implemented.
This is possible by setting the following option inside %appdata%\Nextcloud\nextcloud.cfg (or on Linux: ~/.config/Nextcloud/nextcloud.cfg) and restarting the client
