WIP: Add to the file manager extension the option to edit a file. #1442

camilasan · 2019-09-25T17:34:07Z

The file can be edited in the browser via one of our apps Text,
Collabora or OnlyOffice.

TODO:

create the request with the file id and token to be able to open the file in edit more in the browser
Answer: https://github.com/nextcloud/richdocuments/blob/master/docs/mobile_flow.md
"Basically it is checking if is supported and if it is. A simple post with the file id gets you the URL to open then there are some messages to handle etc. But I must admit I don't know them all by heart. But @tobiasKaminsky does"
"This would also work with OnlyOffice and Text and others? Both require server work, as OnlyOffice currently does not allow to edit files directly. But Julius and me discussed this with OO guys at Conf. For Text Julius is already working on it. It is planned, that this is somehow abstracted in a more generic way, but this is up to Julius."

Also see nextcloud-gmbh/server#14.

Copying over the specs from the issue:

This can replace the "Open in browser" entry as it’s basically the same thing but better
"Open in browser" should be called "Open online", just minor wording
The entry should be called "Edit collaboratively"
For odt/ods/odp documents, we need to check on the server if Collabora Online is installed.
For txt/md we need to check for Nextcloud Text on the server

For the last 2 points cc @juliushaertl?

Similarly we could do that for the activity stream in the improved tray menu #877: If a synced file is txt/md/odt/etc the action button could say "Edit" (better wording welcome, but we are short on space).

(The mockup has a unified menu for right-click, that’s a separate discussion though so feel free to ignore that. ;)

The related server API PR for 18 is here: nextcloud/server#17625

The entry should be called "Edit collaboratively"

@jancborchardt We probably should use the exposed apps name that is used for editing (e.g. Edit with Collabora Online) since there might be multiple apps you could open a file with.

I wouldn’t expose the app name as this is not really relevant to regular people, it’s more confusing. :) It’s focused on Collabora Online, OnlyOffice and Text, and if there are multiple apps to edit with it should just pick 1 for simplicity.

juliusknorr · 2019-11-04T08:46:28Z

Then we could just use "Edit collaboratively" if only one editor is available, and show the names otherwise I'd say.

src/gui/socketapi.cpp

+        QMimeDatabase db;
+        QMimeType type = db.mimeTypeForFile(fileData.localPath);
+        if (capabilities.hasRichDocuments() && capabilities.supportedRichDocumentsMimetypes().contains(type.name().toLatin1())){
+            listener->sendMessage(QLatin1String("MENU_ITEM:EDIT") + flagString + tr("Edit via ") + capabilities.richDocumentsProductName());


Just to clear this up, we only want it to say "Edit", right? No product name, no "… collaboratively". Can you confirm @karlitschek?

cc @camilasan fyi

(Also, "Edit" should be the first in the list, before the Sharing entries – because you can also do that when the document is not shared.)

@jancborchardt Yes. I would only say 'Edit'. The app that is used depends on the mime type and is not really important for the user.

@karlitschek thanks, agreed!

Suggested change

listener->sendMessage(QLatin1String("MENU_ITEM:EDIT") + flagString + tr("Edit via ") + capabilities.richDocumentsProductName());

listener->sendMessage(QLatin1String("MENU_ITEM:EDIT") + flagString + tr("Edit"));

While implementing this feature with OO, we found a small "problem": you can open also pdf files, which are not editable.
So we thought about "open (remotely)" instead of "edit" as this is more generic.

@tobiasKaminsky can’t we just exclude PDF from it instead? Then the entry will simply say "Open in browser" as specified at #1442 (comment)

That’s much better than complicating the wording for the regular case.

So this can be closed as it’s superseded by #1735, right? :) @misch7 @camilasan

jancborchardt · 2020-03-24T10:16:39Z

This was fixed by #1735, closing this hence. :)
