Orgzly-android: Access files in the external storage (SD card)

Created on 19 Dec 2018 · 4Comments · Source: orgzly/orgzly-android

That would allow a huge capacity to use images and other files in our notes, using the local storage.

Some apps are able to do that.

Other ones are too advanced and can't solve this problem.

I hope Orgzly to be between the apps that are able to write in every folder on the external card.

Now I am thinking how to compatibilize paths with pc orgmode. Maybe using relative paths from the "base directory"?
Best regards

It is also desirable to set up a "home directory" path in settings to "replace" ~/ in desktop org-files to reference content inside Nextcloud shares for example

This may also imply that image links (or pretty much any file link) are relative to the location where the Org file is stored. Currently, it seems that image links are relative to "/sdcard" only.

It would be very nice to be able to have image links with relative paths based on the location of my local file repo.

I've open a more specific issue https://github.com/orgzly/orgzly-android/issues/496 requesting for file:/xxx for files relative to sdcard but file:xxx for files relative to repository.
