Hi there, love the app, it's simply the best of its type in my opinion. I use it on android and windows.
In chrome os, it fails to open torrent files downloaded using the built in chrome browser.
Another android app FE explorer does offer to open them so it should be possible, I suspect it may be a case of adding some info on the manifest.

For clarity, I'm speaking of the android app, running on chrome os.

Hi, thank you for your interest and for reporting this issue. I don't really see why it works with FE explorer and not with chrome, but I'll try my best to solve it. I'll let you know if I need you to test the update before publishing it.

Ok thanks.

Yes, that's probably the problem, I'll try to find documentation about that.

So, I haven't found any documentation on this, it's more likely a bug in Chrome OS. Luckily, I've found a workaround that is also used by FE explorer, so it may solve the problem: LibreOffice/online/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

I'll try to implement it in the next few days when I have some free time.

No, not yet. But I'll consider creating one if you really want to give me a donation once I fixed the issue, this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for the proposal.

v1.5.3 is published and available on the Play Store.

I've also created an account on buymeacoffee.com, but my account is not yet approved. I'll add the sponsor button on GitHub when I get approved.
