Hi Lukas,

It's great you created this app, that will be very useful ; thanks a lot.

Just on thing to mention : if you create a shortcut from an element inside a groupfolder, then the "dir" parameter used in the redirection link is not good.

Example :

  1. I create a shortcut for the "Project" folder that lives inside the "GroupFolder1" group folder.

  2. The shortcut leads to : https://cloud.com/apps/files/files/443?dir=Projet&opendetails=true
    instead of https://cloud.com/apps/files/files/443?dir=/GroupFolder1/Projet

Regards
Sébastien

Hi Sebastien,

This actually isn't a bug related to group folders specifically. It is all nested folders in general. I personally only use this for files and folders were added as an afterthought. Thanks for pointing out the issue and I'll create a release that should fix it tonight.

Hi Lukas,
Thanks for the fix!
As far as i understand, you developped the app for your personnal use first, but is it also meant if ever to be part of the nextcloud officially supported apps/features ? I ever you know : )

Hi Sebastien,
This app is for personal use (which is why it is on my git server instead of in Nextcloud's Github organization), and I currently don't have any plans to make it an officially supported app by Nextcloud.

Hi Lukas,

Just in case you wouldn't know, there is an open issue in the nextcloud server repo for that enhancement (i had posted there our need for that) : https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/54006

Indeed we'd really love to have that feature on our nextcloud server at the University of Nantes ; considering multiple use cases, that would be sort of a game changer in terms of user experience.

If ever things change, and you consider one day to work this app as a supported app by Nextcloud, we'd love to help if possible.

Regards
Sébastien
