It seems like there's only one font used to cover non Latin scripts? When opening files contains text in Hebrew it seems to be possible to only use one font. Also, the fonts is sans serif, which great for heading but not so much for body text.

Hi! I'm slowly adding some basic support for .org files in GitJournal (https://github.com/GitJournal/GitJournal/issues/463), initially only as plain text, and it would be a great step forward if I could simply call Orgro to preview the current file.

Is there a way to open Orgro with the file content to be previewed? What would be the best way to achieve this? Does Flutter have some mechanism like Android Intents, where one could invoke Orgro with a string content to be previewed? Would you add the missing bits to make this work?

Thanks!

Let me extract this proposal from #5, to allow some focus.

Preface: As I mentioned in a comment there, Flutter has an option (at least on Android) to request permissions for a folder on external storage. This provides access to the whole tree below the selected location.

Proposal: Allow opening a folder location on the device and reading all the files in there.

• option to select a local folder
• display the tree structure for the sub-folders
• allow opening any .org file from the tree

This relates closely to #34, as it would use direct access to the files, without the content provider, so the files could simply be re-read after they have been edited in an external editor.

It will actually allow any sort of interaction with other applications in the OrgMode ecosystem, as well as having attachments, relative links, images, etc.

It would be nice to support opening relative file links like [[./other_file.org][related text]].

Issues:

• Is it even possible to resolve a URI relative to one that we have obtained permission for?
  • Maybe we can prompt for permissions, e.g. show the file picker with the target pre-selected?
• How should the file open?
  • Push a new route on top of the current?
  • Or close the current and open the new file?

More specific than #22, this request is only for displaying the remote images inline. Local images and attachments are cumbersome due to different ways of accessing the files by different platforms and applications. Hence, some images may be stored online and referenced from within a note. The images don't change as often as text, so this is one way of solving a big part of the problem. The option should have a toggle switch in the preferences. The displayed images should scale so that they fit the screen. Large images may need to be opened by tapping on them.

By remote, I mean the HTTP(S) URLs. The supported extensions should be recognised automatically. Png, jpg, svg, gif, webp would be my preference.

I think one thing that would improve Orgro is a list of recently opened files, say the last 5 or 10?

Perhaps some weight based system so it's the most commonly visited files plus the most recent file?

As an an example of my use case, I have a cookbook.org file that I store recipes in, and I tend to open it commonly on my phone. Ditto for my monthly journal as well.

I suppose the possible trickiness may come in making sure that references are updated for moved files, and deleted files are able to be removed from the recents list!

Unfortunately I don't know Dart at all, so I'm not able to even attempt to try and contribute this myself but I've opted to become a Github sponsor since I'd like to see Orgro able to grow :)

When I view an org file on an iPad, the contents appeared to be right justified. When adjusting the file size, I now realise that it is just wasted space on both left an right sides. This is made apparent by increasing the font size until line wrap happens. There is no need to wrap the content. Don't waste my screen space!

Here is another reveal:

As reported in https://github.com/amake/orgro/issues/22#issuecomment-828373842, a LaTeX block with a tag (implied or otherwise) will render with the tag overlapping the main body:

\begin{equation}
a + b = c
\end{equation}

Is it possible to change the filepicker when clicking on +? The stock filepicker is not the best one for finding .org files.

Edit: Related to https://github.com/amake/orgro/issues/18

On a sidenote: The drawback of a filepicker in general is that you cannot see the #+TITLE when searching. This makes searching for a file much more cumbersome compared to searching by document title, e.g. implemented in org-roam as org-roam-find-file

I would like to contribute to this project but I have some troubles setting up Android Studio + Flutter + Emulator, especially performance wise. Do you have any resources/advice to make it easier?

Hi,

The PROPERTIES drawer are displayed nicely but It would be great if Orgro could display other drawers, such as LOGBOOK the same.

Thanks for great piece of software

It would be nice to have support for different themes in orgro.

Examples that come to mind is mainly the darkmode version of doom one.

doomthemes has many really cool looking ones.

I understand how search works, but it would be more user-friendly if after searching for whatever text the user might search for, it jumps to the first entry. And if there are multiple entries of said text, the user then has the option to press a button that jumps to the next entry. There can also be another button for the previous entry.

I cannot find a way to update a file from Dropbox that has been updated since it was first opened. Saw https://github.com/amake/orgro/issues/12 but still not clear how this is supposed to work.

I suppose this is a feature request.

Currently, orgro does not appear to handle attachment: links properly, even though they're technically just a glorified species of file: links with a separately specified location.

Given an org file like

#+TITLE: Orgro attachment test

* This is a test :ATTACH:
:PROPERTIES:
:DIR:      orgro-test
:END:

This is a test of how orgro hangles attachments.

[[attachment:that-image.jpg]]

and an accompanying orgro-test/that-image.jpg I would expect the image to be rendered, yet it definitely isn't. In fact, clicking on it results in "No activity found to handle intent..."

The program tries to open EPS files. It opens them as text files. For example, Gmail could show these files in emails, but after installations of ORGRO the files are opened by ORGRO as text files. It would be fine if ORGRO could show EPS files, but if it can not, it would be better not to try to.
