Txt files now open in preview mode instead of the Dropbox Text Editor directly
My files are created as plain .txt files. In the past they would open directly with the Dropbox Text Editor as I had selected the Dropbox Text Editor as the default in the phone app.
Now the files ...
Thank you for your patience. Just wanted to give an update on where things are:
In the upcoming release this week (v346), we made a few small tweaks to make the Dropbox text editor a little less painful to use (modifying the font size and scroll position to get close to where the page you were looking at). Though any additional improvements will require significantly more work. In the release after that, for users that prefer another editor, we'll add an edit button (for Dropbox text editor) and "Open with" button and that should allow you to select another editor, with 1-click.
We recognize that this doesn't solve the problem that you'd like to open the editor by default, but these changes should ideally make things a bit less painful, while we try to make additional improvements that will take a bit longer to resolve.
Thanks! Let me know if you have questions.
This issue is NOT just a .txt issue!
