Fasthub: Missing feature: Unable to work with binary files (upload/rename)

[ILAsoft]

FastHub Version: 4.4.2
Android Version: 8.0.0 (SDK: 26)
Device Information:

• Manufacturer: Google

- Model: Pixel XL

Currently I can add text based files directly in FastHub, but uploading an existing file is not supported (neither via native buttons, nor by sending files from other apps). It is especially painful in cases where the file is binary, as copy-pasting is not an option here eirher. Additionally, rename is not supported for binary files (it does not appear to be supported by the GutHub web-based UI either, was only able to complete the required action via Git and GitDesktop).

well, in general GitHub doesn't have any upload API so I'm not so sure what is your request here even though you have confirmed that this isn't possible either via GitHub website.

I have not verified it, but was hoping that it would be possible via a method similar to https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/contents/#create-a-file (noted that it says content is base64 encoded, so may allow binary). Similarly on the rename and other file management tasks.
Again, this is more of a nice to have feature request and not a bug/issue.

alright thanks for the clarification.

I'm only worrying about OOM in this case and how huge the binary files would be, as I can't confirm how much each device could take of memory to be able to base64 encode it and send it within the request body, that's a really huge problem and needs to be thought about it carefully.

It would be great to have uploading files feature. Instead of editing files in app I would just pick newer file from file browser.

GitHub doesn't support file uploads the problem :'(

[usakhelo]

And the app doesn't store the repo on disk somewhere so that I just replace the file and then push?

[k0shk0sh]

You can download the repo but no git integration

Sorry I couldn't find the app useful and filed the refund. Everything is working fine except there's no functionality I need.

@usakhelo IMHO I feel that is not fair.

Its not like any other app provides this AND there is no api

[k0shk0sh]

@usakhelo you should have contacted me and I had refund you more faster ;).

[usakhelo]

I should have read description more carefully, that's what I missed. Sorry guys. App is great really, it's just not for me right now.
