Can you send me your capabilities in iOS at nextcloud dot com (use share in the view ) |
|
This doesn‘t work either.
E-mail creates no attachment.
Export to other destinations show but ineffective.
Copying from screen doesn‘t allow „select all“.
Trying to copy step-by-step doesn‘t work as entries change every few second and lines jump....

I am also willing to beta test since I experience same problem. |
|
oh true, the procedure was yet incomplete, try with the last build (6) thanks |
|
Keep on trying the latest Testflight versions of the NC app - but still no possibility to edit or create text files with it.🤨 |
|
Maybe its just limited ressources. I decided to try nc19 now with php7.4 because the issue wont go away by itself. Since that works i will migrate soon. It s not a business deployment. I can live with that. |
|
I've tried before to update to NC18 with the web updater on a 'stable' channel. This resulted corrupted and could inly be resolved by recovering backup from the provider (nextcloud/server#22160). |

I've got the same issue on the iOS Nextcloud v3.0.6.8 client, cannot create plain text file in the "+" menu (no option there), can only read-only view of existing .txt files, can't edit them. I ran the iOS Nextcloud v2.25.9 client using XCode and Simulator with my NextCloud 19.0.2 server and that one can create, view, and edit plain text files fine. My setup is: |

I have the same issue here (iPhone SE). The Nextcloud server is hosted by my university. Before upgrading the iOS app, I could create and edit any .txt file. This feature was one the main reason I used Nextcloud. Now .txt file does not appear in my main menu. I tried the Beta through TestFlight, and its the same. Any idea if it's a bug or an intentional removal ? Thank you for your work. Arthur |

I'm not familiar with iOS programming and Swift, and even less so with the NextCloud iOS codebase, so this is what I saw when I ran v2.25.9 in XCode and Simulator compared to v3.0.6, based on my novice experience: In the v2.25.9 client, text files are edited through a screen/class called NCText, which provides the editing and saving functionalities. In the v3.0.6 client, it looks like text files are opened by NCViewerQuickLook, which is a read-only view, no text editing capabilities. The NCText class/screen doesn't exist any more in v3.0.6, so it was a design decision to remove text editing capability provided by NCText, replacing it with view only NCViewQuickLook. |
|
Thank you. Any idea on how to officially ask for a come back of the NCText in the upcoming version ? It was very useful for quick creation/editing of .txt files as (+/- markdown) note-taking or todo list.. |
|
I'd ask the NextCloud iOS maintainers provide some input on this, I think there were quite a number of changes to the iOS client from v2 to v3, so there was probably some design decision to take out NCText. I believe the text editing capabilities in v3 are to be provided by the Text app, which defaults to markdown .md files, and I found it quite buggy on the iOS client, text display clipping issues, markdown edited on a PC not being honoured on the iOS client and causing text loss etc. (see nextcloud/text#772). Yes, I'd love for the plain text editor functionality to be restored as well. |
|
Relieved to see, that's it's not just my problem.... ;) |
|
Does anybody know if the text editing/creating feature will be reintroduced in future releases of Nextcloud IOS client? In my case it's the main feature I use. :( Thanks! |

I was having this problem running iOS client 3.0.8.0 and Nextcloud server < 19. But once I upgraded Nextcloud server to 19.0.3, text file creation and edit started working, although it's still a little glitchy... I can use the + button to create a file, but it doesn't immediately open the file for editing. I have to go back to the folder and tap the file to open it again, and the second time it opens in the editor. Sometimes it can take a few seconds for the file to finish opening in the editor. Files are created as markdown (.md) by default; but after creation, if renamed to .txt they'll open and edit as plain text. |

iOS 14.6 Unable to add new or edit existing .txt or .md files. This is fairly essential and important functionality. Is this on any roadmap? |
|
Sadly persisting with Testflight NextCloud 4.0.0 (13). |
|
@foss- do you have install the "Text" on server ? |
|
Not sure what you mean. Notes is running on the nextcloud instance being used and txt and md editing in browser is possible. |
|
I repeat, do you have installed Text ? go top on Capabilities in Advanced (Nextcloud iOS) and look if Text is installed |
|
@marinofaggiana - was not aware of where to check for capabilities in NextCloud iOS app. So this is an interesting case as the app says Not sure what to make of this inconsistency. The behavior was identical for v3.4.2 and v4.0.0 (13). |
|
@foss- because you must install "Text" on server:
|
|
I understand. But as stated |
|
oh! sorry, @foss- can you create for me an account test ? |
|
Hi @foss- something is broken to server side, so I create a ticket here: If you want added more detail. |
|
Since I've seen Nextclou 17 mentioned here quite often, this could be a reason, as the direct editing API was only introduced in Nextcloud 18 with nextcloud/server#17625 But anyone with a version 19 (18 is EOL already) or higher who is encountering the issue, additional server details would be welcome in nextcloud/text#1662 |

Hi, I jump in here, b/c I think it is related. I lost my work 2 times already, and I thought that is the easiest thing to create a textfile in Nextcloud app to collect some brainstorming... ENV: latest NC app on IOS 14.x, latest NC20 with Text app like mentioned above is installed.: Sometimes all the existing text is deleted immediately and even saved. It gives me a 1byte file and all my brainstorming is gone. Texteditors should be no rocket science and this is really frustrating. /Thomas |
