Support folder picking on iOS 13

MechanicalPoet · February 10, 2020, 1:56am

Folder picking on iOS 13 has been changed and DTTG doesn’t adapt yet. This needs a new plist key, NSExtensionFileProviderSupportsPickingFolders,to be set, which is not documented well…

Can you please enable this?

See this tweet from Working Copy’s developer for more details: https://twitter.com/palmin/status/1177860144258076673

The request is noted, but it’s clearly not simply enabling it. We’ll consider this for the next major release. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Twitter thread discussing about adding the feature. (Apple’s documentation about this feature is basically non existent)

Looks like owncloud added this feature

This would allow one to mount entire directories from DEVONthink to go in other iOS apps like iAwriter or Textastic. Would make life a lot easer when working with markdown on iOS / iPadOS.
