(1) [WONT FIX]

That's bit weird..

1. Open a txt file in order to preview it

Current:

Not previewed:

ScreenRecording_01-29-2025.09-20-50_1.MP4

Expected:

Previewed

I reproduce this in iPhone with iOS 18.2 with e0ab6fadf
With the same iPhone, it's not reproducible using the latest testflight version (build 293)
In iPadOS 17, works fine

Any idea, or extra info i can add?

Not a blocker, but a bit nasty.

[jesmrec]

(2) [FIXED]

1. Add two accounts to the app
2. In account 1, choose any file (no folder) and click on 3-dot-button
3. Copy and then Copy to clipboard
4. Go to account 2, and in top-right 3-dot-button menu, select Paste

Current:

Nothing happens:

ScreenRecording_01-29-2025.12-33-22_1.MP4

Expected:

File copied in step 2 is pasted in the account 2

With target in same account works fine

EDIT: Same bad behaviour with Cut option to Paste in another account

@jesmrec (1) What I see in that recording is that the file is downloaded, then passed to the iOS QLPreviewController for presentation. Why iOS chooses to show "1 copy 3, text, 754 bytes" instead of the text file I can't immediately tell. What's in that text file?

FWIW, I uploaded a simple text file with just "Test" in it - and it is shown:

---

I'm looking at (2) right now.

[jesmrec]

@felix-schwarz this is the text file that i opened in the example video (there are several files with the same content):

1 copy 1.txt

i can provide the ad-hoc ipa i tested with

[felix-schwarz]

@jesmrec Re (1), testing on a real device with that file, I noticed that:
a) when it was downloaded the first time, it showed the placeholder as in your screenshot
b) closing the viewer and opening it again (with the file still downloaded), it then showed the file
c) erasing the local copy of the file, logging out, back in and then download the file a second time, it showed the file correctly (like in b)

Looking at the source code, nothing really sticks out that could cause this. If the file wasn't downloaded at the time it's handed to the QLPreviewController, the QLPreviewController couldn't show its correct file size.

Why QLPreviewController behaves that way for this file I can't really tell at this point. It doesn't look like we could do anything about it at the moment. At least, if it happens, it seems users can close the viewer and open it again to view the file.

Re (2): Should be fixed as of c72a986.

(3) [FIXED]

About conflict handling

1. Open an image with the markup app in iOS.
2. Open the same image in another client (i used the desktop client over a macbook)
3. Modify the image in two different clients, saving the iOS app the lattest (to cause a conflict in the app)

Current:

App shows a technical http error 409

Expected:

The iOS app does not show the conflict dialog (Keep Both - Replace - Cancel) that used to show.

FYI, I removed the "Send feedback" feature and bumped the build number in the latest commits.

[felix-schwarz]

@jesmrec (3) should be fixed as of 99c2a20. Background: the server returns a 409 status code if the precondition in the If-Match header that references the edited version is not met. It previously expected a 412 (Precondition Failed) status to be returned in that case (which is also what OC10 does).

[jesmrec]

(3) fixed

[jesmrec]

Release 12.4.0 is OK from my side

Xcode version: 16.2 (16C5032a)

Approved commits:

• app: 99c2a20d
• sdk: 1bf0da8d

Regression test: https://github.com/owncloud/QA/blob/master/Mobile/iOS/Executions/Version%2012.4/Regression.md

E2E tests vs oCIS 7.0.0: https://reports.cucumber.io/reports/ceaa9efb-9924-49bd-8fdd-911a3974b4a1

Final notes:

• Files provider issues got improved in this new version. Operations that include many files are still making the files provider to crash, probably for the swap memory limit.

Great work, team!! 🚀 💯
