file_open

[IS27-Particle]

Would be nice to build out scripts which end up opening specified files for editing or viewing purposes.

Do you mean that after the script is done running it would open the file with Text, Office, Image viewer, etc.?

[IS27-Particle]

Yes! That's precisely what I'm looking for! Maybe it could take advantage of coroutines in lua and wait for the file close?

Not sure if that is possible since it's coded in php

You could have it set up an EventListener for the File Close event and match it to the ID provisioned by the File Open. But just having it being able to open at the end of the script is enough for what I need.

[Raudius]

Yeah its not really possible to do anything fancy like that. We can just return a list of files to open from the script to the frontend and have the viewer app handle them.

Granted if there is no registered app to open the file type then nothing will happen.

[IS27-Particle]

That's basically what I'm after?
Like if I have the file node I'd like to pass that off to Nextcloud files to trigger opening in whichever editor/viewer is set up?

Will be added as part of the 3.0.0 release
