Freetube: Can't import ompl files from YouTube

Created on 4 Oct 2020  路  6Comments  路  Source: FreeTubeApp/FreeTube

Behavior of the program
I'm trying to import into FreeTube the OPML file downloaded from YouTube using the AppImage from the v0.8.0-beta release, but it is not possible.
Whenever I click on import from youtube, the file extension filter is set to "Database file" and it doesn't offer any other option, so the OPML isn't show

Expected behavior
Being able to look for a OPML and import it into FreeTube

To Reproduce

  1. Go to 'Settings'
  2. Click on 'Import Subscriptions'
  3. Click on 'Import YouTube (.opml)'
  4. Navigate to where the file is located
  5. File filter is set to 'Database File' and OPML file isn't shown

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: GNU/Linux
  • OS Version: Manjaro (it is a rolling release, so "version" doesn't apply here)
  • FreeTube version: 0.8.0-beta

To me, it also only has the option for "Database File", but .opml files do show up. Please make sure the file has the extension ".opml", otherwise it won't show.

For me (windows) it does show the correct file type:
image

Anyone else with this issue on Linux?

This is what I see:
imagen

This worked, thanks. Strange that you need to do this on 0.8.0 now though, perhaps it's from the rewrite?

@serjor could you confirm that it works for you as well? Then I would close the issue afterwards.

I have to apologize. Renaming the file was the first thing I tried and also I tried to rename it to .db just in case, but maybe I made a typo or something like that, because today the file is there.

Sorry for the inconveniences.
